Hi Sue,
Nice shot of this pair, I like the open beak of the bird with it's head down. The comp is pretty centered but I'm not sure what else that I would do with this one. It's always good to include your F-stop, shutter speed and iso to help us give you more complete critiques.

Sue, I like the light here and the soft colors they produced. Sharpness looks good at this size. I agree that the birds seem a little centered and would also like to see more of your techs.

nice light and interesting poses, Sue. possibly you could take a little off the left if you haven't cropped much so far. although I know they like these platforms the perch does leave something to be desired for me.

Sue,
I like the intimacy of this image, how the herons seem to be working together to build the nest and that the blue breeding lores are evident. The birds and nest do seem too centered and I think a crop from the left might help that to provide a stronger comp. Darkening the midtones slighty might give the birds a little more dimension.
