    I like the background, sharpness, errant feather on crown.

    Wish the head was back our way, better eye contact.

    Perhaps tone down the whites a bit at the gape.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    I agree with Randy, plus to me the head feathering and the bill markings don't look quite sharp - was the head moving a little, or was this a big crop?

    You had the right idea as far as BG and composition goes...you just needed to wait for the heron to turn its head more your way.

    I agree with you all. The head angle could have been better. Actually this is the best head position I got before he flew off.

    @Richard - Yes the head was moving.
