EXCELLENT close up of one of my favorite birds to photograph and study for over 12 yrs.
You did a fine job on eye Clarity, focus and sharp details.
Everything is fine here Barbara, but I would like to see white balance Controlled more on the whites. Exposure bias needs to be on the negative side like -1.0 and white balance set manually.
This used to be a learning site yrs ago..I tire of fluff Reviews that offer zero help for growth.
It's a fine shot but white balance needs some work..any questions..help..fell free to contact me here.

Thank you so much for the great review! I very much appreciate your offer of help! How can I improve the white balance on this photo?

reply by Sange on 27-Nov-2017

I will write you privately here Barb..
My thing is to get others to understand white balance and get it correct in camera.
Email me here what camera you use..then my reply will be more helpful to you.

A beautiful subject that is shown in great natural colors. I like the cropping and the fine detail both the eye and the plumage on the neck.

A quite grand bird shot presented here! Your fine angled and overhead composition provides us with good look at your beautiful heron. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

One if those movie star pose. Lol. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this birds facial is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

This is a nicely done wildlife portrait that captures the unique coloring an details of this elegant water bird. I love the blue feathers in the head and the fragile feathers that flutter from its breast.
