Nice really clear photo. The color and sharpness is really nice as well. The background brings out the color of the eyes.

This is deserving of more than five stars but that is all I have left. Extremely sharp image with so much to see. Love that simple blue background of the water.

What a sharp detailed presentation. Good technique and impact. Bold enough composing is interesting. I love it the pro presentation. Well done.

Great Shot! As usual, you got this one of which you are correct, I did not know about the two eyelids. Sharpness, focus and composition background always the way they should be. Thanks for write up, very informative as well. Nice work Willie. Going to start giving your car credit also! (joke) Thanks for sharing. Royal

That seems like a nice sharp head shot, lovely contrasting colour in the background as well.
Good crop and editing , very nice

Comment from donnadiann
I just didn't think this portrayed this blue herron well, even though it's the eyes being focused on. The background is good and framing effective. The artist notes are helpful.

Excellent photograph. Well framed and the focus is pin sharp. Color saturation and lighting gives this a very strong initial impact. Quality photo, good job, John
