Little Blue Heron (Imm)

Canon 1D-X, 500mm x 1.4TC, handheld
f5.6, 1/500, ISO200

There's an out-of-range, immature Little Blue Heron hanging around the Greenbelt in Boise. Not very cooperative. I'd have like a lower angle, but topography wouldn't allow it. The reeds in the foreground seemed to be unavoidable. Overcast day with intermittent  drizzle.

Full frame. Some adjustments to Levels; selective sharpening to bird's head. Less than perfect cloning out of a reed.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.
