Cocoi Heron

I went yesterday to a place called "Pantanal Paulista", which is a place with an environment similar to Pantanal, for those that knows what Pantanal is.

Lots of aquatic birds.

Very nicely composed portrait Jefferson with good detail in both blacks and whites. :toast:

Lovely, Jefferson. A beautiful heron and nicely captured. I might try bringing out the textures in the white neck just a bit more with the highlights tool-sometimes it will do amazing things for an image.

Very nice portrait of the heron Jefferson, Details look good, I'd be tempted to brighten his eye just a touch. :smile:

Very nice, Jefferson. The Cocois in the Pantanal were almost unapproachable, spooking from 100 meters away. Looks like the Paulista's are more tolerant.
