Beautiful, Tom. Great pose and sharp as a tack.

Love the pose and perch here. Nice comp too. You have done a great job capturing what looks like pre-flight. You might bring up the whites a bit in post-processing and I think that the overall pop of the image will come up.

Tom, I like the old post perch and your exposure looks good to me. Interesting background too.

A nice capture and great techs. I suppose Green Herons can't help but look intense, but you've captured it very well.
