    Asghar:

    Very interesting fellow, a new one for me. We rarely see Bittern's out of the reeds in the states. He looks sharp, with interesting background.

    The comp is a bit tight for my tastes, all the way around. Ideally, the head turned more our way would be more engaging.

    I think you might be able to increase the exposure by 1/3 or so to bring up the blacks a bit without blowing out the whites.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers

    Randy

    A bit more room around the bird would make the bird stand out more in my opinion. A great bird, lovely colours and a great background.

    A great capture to have seen him in the open - normally a very shy bird. A little tight LLC, and more of a head turn towards you would have been great. You could easily push up the ISO to at least 400, it would have given you more ss too.
