Had a ball going out and doing some photography with Marina Scarr a few times down in Florida in February. We went out in the Sarasota area one day on a friend's boat and got pretty near a great blue heron nest. I got many images of these little guys, both at rest and also during their intense jockeying for fish when the parent returned to the nest. One chick was of course the victor, and this was my best capture of that one moment, since heads are distinct and at a decent angle to the camera here. I definitely would appreciate help on this image though, I feel like it's pretty busy and I have some questions--leave it as it is, or clone out vegetation in upper right, and maybe even parent's body? Though I think that helps tell the story. I did do some cloning of some vegetation to neaten it up a bit as the cluttered look definitely does not appeal to me. But that's the way their nests are, I guess.
This is about a 35% crop. Did slight vignetting, SH, NR.
Would very much appreciate any and all C & C. Thanks for looking.
