Concentration

A fortunate morning today at the wildlife refuge, spotting 3 American Bitterns. I selected this image to crop (45% of original) as a portrait and for the Bitterns obvious concentration on finding his next meal.

I understand that the reed near the beaks end may be a distraction to some, if so. . . this ones for YOU!

Excellent. Makes a fine portrait. Love the natural understated colors. The reed across the bill is fine with me.
