This is a great close up indeed. It is not easy to get that close to a juvenile since they are master in hiding themselves. The pose of the bird looks cute and also allows us a good view of the front of his body and the profile of his head. The sharp captured eye is especially impressive. The colors are refreshing natural. The shallow background and the tight framing are emphasizing the bird nicely.

What a wonderful scene with this juvenile Green Heron. That eye is instantly attention grabbing and the 'bad hair day' makes this young one seen so 'young'. Great work in capturing this one Grace. Kudos ~ Steve

It's great how close you were able to get to this young Heron! I love the pose. Excellent sharpness with perfect focus on the eye. Lovely light and color. Nice soft background.

a great close up portrait Grace of this juvenile green heron, a species we don't have in Europe;
I like his pose with the twisted neck, looking at you; sharp focus on head and feet with a perfect blurred bg;

This is a beautiful capture. The background is faded well keeping the focus on the green heron. Well focused and lighting is good. You captured him in a great pose.

A very nice nature shot posted here! Your full and off-centre composition grants us a fine look at your young heron. Like the beak and those claws! Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

A real beauty. I like this front profile view and the beautiful composition. I like both his eye and his feet and think the bit of fuzz on top of his head is great.
