Hi Scott - as always, you've caught great detail in the bird - the feathers, beak, eye - all wonderful stuff. I'm having fun trying to interpret the look on his wee face...!

Being picky, I think I'd have liked to have seen his eye more to the right of the image as we look, it's maybe a little too central for my tastes.

But that is nitpicking - this is a fine image to add to your collection - well done!

Hi Scott, nice clear shot of the Heron. You must have been pretty close? Good detail, is seperated nicely from the bg. Very nice shot. TFS Lyndon

Scott,
I like the detail in this guys plumage. You caught a "squint" of catch-light and perfect DOF. The log behind him, added to the central-ness of this guy actually makes the composition more interesting. I like the bokeh and the light that highlights his beak.
Very well written notes! I shall NEVER complain about your nature shots.....they have singlehandedly made me a better photographer!

This is great, I am waiting for him to fly off my screen! Very colorful, wonderful pov with the focus on his eyes, great textures and clarity, thanks for sharing,

"... complaining about nature photography on this site..."
Scott I do hope that it was about some hairy homo sapiens rather than our fine-feathered friend here!

This shot is razorsharp! Gosh given that you have more excellent shots on TN, it should encourage folks to also visit there!

Did you do any TL stuff here that you can not do on TN?

Hello Scott,
A sharp portrait!
It is a beautiful bird and well captured, the reproduction of the plumage is delicate and true to the natural colours!
A well composed presentation!
