Your shot is a treat for the viewer! You capture the details in the feathers and even the whispy, I'm guessing down, on the bird's head. Good depth of field making the grass a mass of green to make your subject pop.

A very rare treat to see one with still some down feathers.

Your colors are popping off the page and makes for such a splendid view.

Love the off center shooting as well.

Great job Grace!

Such a beautiful creature. I love how you've captured so much detail - it's as if he were posing for you. A rare shot indeed. Excellent work.

I just commented another green heron on FAR and said they have different colors except green!
Lucky you to see a lot: we don't have any in Europe;
perfect framing with sharp focus;

Aww he is so cute. I love wildlife photos. This is such an awesome baby shot. Very focused on the Heron. I love that his eye stands out so well. Thank you so much for sharing this picture with us.

I love the downy white feathers still clinging to its head. The green plumage is so pretty against the reddish browns in its neck and chest. The clarity of the details and the use of natural light are excellent.

A beautiful young heron. Up here they are more rare and I don't think I have ever seen one in the open like this. Very fine detail that shows the down on his head as well as the sharp eye of a predator.

This is a nice shot of the bird! You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!
