Very nice portrait, Gail. Great color, fine feather detail, and real nice BG.
Do you have any shots of him eating geckos?![]()
Gail:
Certainly a different spot to look for wading birds!
I like his trailing head plumes, OOF background.
Long necked birds are often a compositional challenge in close ups. If you have more of the neck or upper torso, I might try a vertical with less to the left.
A sliver more rotation our way would make him more of an engaging subject.
Interesting that he drank pool water

Nice opportunity to have it hanging around the pool area! Nice BG, and good details throughout. Fill-flash, and a slightly better HA would have helped here. Did you take any in-camera verticals too?
Nice poolside capture.A vertical is a nice suggestion and a tad more angle towards the viewer would also be preferable like Daniel mentioned. I do like the clean BGD and the head plumes.
Hi Gail,
Nice detail, exposure and lovely background. I agree with the comments about head angle and a try with a vertical may have been worth it.
Great Bg and detail...Like Daniels suggestion re fill flash. Nice one Gail
A ladies man
