Nice low view of the bird and good colors. One of your better images.

Nice work at only 200mm. Natural colors and habitat.

The detail is sensational on the larger view. I didn't realize the Green Heron was so beautiful, and their feet look so big. I just received a kayak for my birthday and have been out two times. I'm looking forward to getting this close to the wildlife. Nice work Luke.
