Great Blue Heron Posing

Here is a pic of the same Heron and perch I posted earlier(he has two legs now) in a different pose. I took the advice of everyone and moved the bird to the right a little. I think it looks much better. What do you guys think?
Canon T2i 100-400L 340mm 1/1600 @f7.1 ISO 400 HH
Thanks for the all the input.

Nice Bill. Good detail and it's neat to see it with the neck so extended-an unusual pose. I like the composition.

Like it. Too bad about the low light and lack of bright sky. It is a great photo, though.

I like the direction of the light and the fact its not too harsh. The perch has quite a lot of character too. Nice job :smile:

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to comment.
Patrick you commented about the low light and lack of bright sky.
What adjustments do you think I could make to make it better?
Thanks Bill

Much improved comp over the last heron post Bill, I like this.
Good detail/DOF and the colors look natural.
Have a great weekend!:toast:
