Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) by Jim Wetherall, on Flickr

Hi, this is my first post outside of the Introductions Forum, glad to finally have time to post something!
This image was taken at the weekend during the last hour of daylight on the Somerset Levels in the South West of the United Kingdom. This Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) was making numerous trips back and forth to gather nesting materials which gave me lots of photographic opportunities that were presenting themselves in a predictable manner (love it when that happens!)
With the sun at my back I was working at sun angle.

Canon EOS 5D MkIV
Canon 600mm f/4 II
Gitzo Tripod with Wimberley head
f/4 1/1600 ISO:1600
This was +1/3 to 2/3 stop from camera meter. Camera was set to Manual.

Processed in Lightroom: Cropped, eye lightened by half a stop, white/black sliders adjusted while holding the "Alt" key, shadows and highlights adjusted, orange saturation increased slightly, orange luminance decreased, sharpening, noise reduction.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
