Green Heron

[Dave Phillips]

another green heron from this past saturday.

This was the unavoidable, sun high in the sky shot.
400mm w/1.4x, 1/640, f/10, +33EV

Thanks for c/c
OOF branches distracting??

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice composition, exposure and colors..:):) My only recommendation would be to clone out the blured leaft that is touching the bird's bill...:D

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Very nice angle and details. I might remove the branch in front of the heron's bill.

[Maxis Gamez]

Hi David,

I have to agree with Axel here. Get those out and see what you get!

[Jim Poor]

I'd probably remove the closest branch and leave the other two. Nice detail in the bird.

[Glenn Bartley]

Very nice. I would definitely consider removing the branch in front of the bird.

[Daniel Cadieux]

You did well under those harsh light conditions. Another vote for the closest branch disapearring (and keeping the other two). Did you already clone out something in front of the bird and down across the log?

[Dave Phillips]

thanks for the input.....will remove largest branch and soften the other two a bit, good idea.

Daniel, I did remove a piece of people litter there and failed to do my clean up, thanks for noticing. My big bad!!
