I was waiting for this Tri-colored to take off so I could get a nice fly-by but he was in no hurry to obligue! So, ended up with a static pic.

Taken with Nikon D80, F/8, 1/1250SEC, 400MM focal lenght, CWA.
C/C welcomed.

Oscar,

I like the pose of your tricolored heron and how the feathers on the back seem to be moving in a gentle breeze. I'd prefer a little more room on the bottom and the right side, I believe the composition would feel more balanced that way.
