Ken amazing how this looks so much like a Green Heron, the bird shows great detail and is framed well upon his approach searching for lunch. not sure if the middle center green plant could be eliminated? little distraction but just a suggestion. The bird is magnificent. The detail in his two toned feathers combination are so defined and colorful. Thank you for sharing as I have never seen one before.

Superb dof, Ken.  The heron is tack sharp from top to bottom.  I kind of wish for a lower angle, but I suspect it wasn't possible at the time.
