Full frame shot - Heron was a little too close but like the detail - comments pls.

Excellent job with focusing and tracking on this, very well done. Light seem a bit high up but I can still make out details in the under wing which is very nice, good job with the exposure. The head seem a bit turning away but it doesn't bother me that much. Wish for the full wing up position and I might consider adding canvas all round, it feels too tight for me.
Quite amazingly sharp (for so close) with a very cool pose. Love the near-underwing detail with the bands of light reflected from the water. Head turned away, WHITEs too bright and BKGR distracting.
