White-faced Heron again

[Tony Whitehead]

Another heron from another day but similar conditions to my previous post.
Nikon D800, 500VR + 1.4x
1/800 f5.6 ISO 1800 - finding the updated autoISO a good improvement from the previous iteration
full height portrait crop from landscape capture
Thanks for looking.

A very nice striding pose. Beautiful eye and nice composition. I'm on my work monitor and am not seeing much detail in the whites, but that could be the monitor.

Very nice pose, light and exposure, Tony. The comp looks great and the shade of blue in the bg is gorgeous.

Hi Tony, lovely pose, good HA, and just love the raised foot. You have brought out the finer plumage nicely, and yes, the colour of the water is really nice.

[Satish Ranadive]

Fabulous image with beautiful composition and lovely lights.Loved the pose with raised foot and great details.Agree with Sidharth about shades of blue in the bg,

[Lyle Gruby]

Very nice, love how you pushed the whites to the limit. The blue BG is very pretty, in fact I might crop just a small amount from the bottom to accentuate the blue BG more.

Good looking striding pose, plenty of detail, the water looks great. The whites on the face are right at the limit.

Great pose, nice water color and eye contact.

Same here on the the whites not showing much details.

Wonderful shot. I really like the pose, especially the lifted foot. Love the water color, excellent details, and great comp.
Well done.
