Heron Hunting

I like the tight roping stance and hunting pose very much Ester. My only nit is the bands of white and red background, it has me wondering what it is so I guess it's a bit of a distraction. Still an interesting shot though.

Thank you, next time i go to that place i will have a look and see what it is The Heron was standing in front of a small arch that went over the canal so the reflection comes from what was behind. Now i am curious too!

I like the pose you caught this bird in Ester Very dynamic. The reflections do detract for me a bit and I would also give the bird more room if you have it, especially on the top and in front.

I don't usually like tight crops, but it works well here. But the reddish reflection in the upper left is pretty distracting. Maybe clone it out?

Great hunting pose, Ester, and I love the log it's on. If you have any more room in the image, I'd like to see some more around the Heron-it feels a bit crowded to me.

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. Have to admit i have never used the cloning tool before actually i have only recently started using Ps but have big book that will explain that! I will post the results later.
