    Here is another Green Heron in its habitat. Removed two small twigs in front of the Heron. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

    Nice details and pose. I wish I could get close to the green herons around here.
    I can see a magenta cast on the image though. I tried adding some green on the color balance tool and it looks much nicer.

    Thanks Luis. I tried the adjustment and it is an improvement.

    Here is a version I was thinking of posting originally with considerable clean-up done. Would like to know what your preference is. Thanks.

    I certainly prefer the repost. I had in mind suggesting you that clean up but forgot to do it.
    I would even add a little more green to the image. I would also suggest moving the bird a tad to the right.

    Hi Jim, good low perspective, and I do like the pose. Good clean up below the heron, and here is my version removing the magenta cast. My method of removing a cast is to go to saturation, and desaturate the colour that has the cast.

    Thanks again for the suggestions Luis. I thought that the image was getting to much of a processed look with the extensive clean-up.

    excellent low angle sharp and great details, I don't see a magenta cast in the original on my monitor but would increase the sat a bit
