An image from this past summer of an adult Black-crowned Night Heron. Some cloning done to remove remnants of a spider web and a small feather on the tip of its beak. Initial edit performed in Capture NX, final adjustments in CS3, final sharpening after reducing image size performed with NIK ProSharpener
