Taken last year whilst waiting for the barn owls to start hunting, this guy flew out from below me. I quite like it but would like to hear other peoples opinion.

Canon 350d + 300mm + 2x
1/1600s f/5.0 ISO400

I like this a lot, its a bit central though. I would crop some off the RHS and a tiny bit off the top.

Could be cropped to advantage, top, bottom and R.H. side.

Nice capture, well seen and taken.

The sky & trees make a fine background. You have captured the Heron well & it really pops out of the image. I do agree about the comp though.

Yes, I can see this working with a tighter crop. placing the bird in the upper right of the frame.
