At the Edge

I took this at Assateague NWR back in April this year using my Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 100-400 mm L lens with 1.4 teleconverter (total reach 560 mm).  Handheld, at f8, 1/1000, ISO 1250.  Cropped to 93 % of original.  Comments and suggestions welcome.

Nicely composed, Shirley.  The exposure and detail in the Heron are spot on.  I like the mossy rocks in the near bg.  I think a little extra blur on the grassy area above the rocks would make the image pop a bit more.

Nice look at this Great Blue Heron Shirley. It is amazing how long their necks and legs are.

A very nice scene Shirley.  I like the composition, color and the mood that you have created.
