Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all those who commented and offered critiques on my last post. This shot is another one from Friday’s reece! Let me know what you think! Last heron shot for a while!

Happy shooting,

Hi Paul,

I prefer this one over your last post , nice comp and setting

Andy...

Works VERY nicely for me Paul!!



Alan

I also prefer this over the last one, but the lack of legs (although you have virtual legs by room at below the bird) room is unsettling the image - Herons are big long legged birds which doesn't come across in the image

I too like it more than the other Paul

Nice comp-works well

Agree that this works better than the first image-Good crop as well

Dave

I really the composition and crop, very nice image!

Thanks for all the comments! Always appreciated!
