    Default Yellow-crowned night heron in side light



    40D. 400 f5.6L at f/6.3. iso 320. 1/500s.

    I will post the vertical frame too. that has more room for virtual feet. Let me know which you prefer. With this head angle, I went horizontal. I realised that I did not apply any USM on the bird here...which I probably should. I should also probably spend some more time on highlight details. I also have similar frame in overcast light that I haven't processed yet.

    Thks in advance for all the feedback.

    This one is at f/7.1. 1/400s. USM applied on the bird, I think.

    Kaustubh, I also like the horizontal framing best, but it does need a bit more room at the bottom. I've never seen this bird before. I'm guessing it is as beautiful -- and as fierce -- as the black-crowned night heron we have here.

    Agree with Wendel, the OP seems a bit tight at the bottom, although the habitat is very artistic as presented.

    I really like how you have included the habitat. Nicely done.

    If I had to choose, I would probably go with the first, although a bit more room as mentioned would be nice.
