I normally cannot get this close to our local herons--they are a bit skittish--so I must have improved my stealth approach. ;) as he let me get quite close-

nice one Bonnie, can you use that stalking technique with the ducks.
This one has unique deep separation from the bg, almost looks like a big drop off behind the heron.
The little breeze on the breast adds a nice element IMO
Nice unusual pose with a killer BG. Stealth worked fine! What is the small round dark spot on the birds left wing shoulder? (Right side in the image)
Very nice pose and breeze moving the plumes. I would do away with some contrast. really pretty background :)
If you visit us, you can almost touch those guys!
