Found this Heron over a small canal in Reading, England.

Canon Rebel XTi EFS 55-250 f4.5-5.6
ISO 400 1/200 f/5.6

Thanks in advance for the helpful suggestions and advice

Nice shot of the heron, good exposure. IMHO if possible I would have the heron a bit highter in the photo, so it's toes are not so close to the bottom of the photo. Also, I would crop out if possible the top rope as IMHO it adds nothing to the photo and is sort of distracting. Still all in all a good shot of the heron.

Wonderful job on the capture of the image (exposure, detail etc.), but I also agree that the composition would be improved by John's advice.

The bird looks great Jimmie, if you have more room on the bottom, I'd include it and crop out the top rope. :toast:
