You have pictured this juvenile heron so well, and especially the bright shiny eye is well captured. The bird is also standing out well from the softened background.

The photo is sharp showing such clear and well defined details in the feathers of the bird, and the exposure is spot on.

The photo is also nicely cropped, and the heron has got a fine placement within the frame. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo Nieves, and with an excellent DOF.

    Thanks, Brian.

    Yes, you need a long lens so as not to scare your subject.

This one makes me think of Sange , she posted several types of herons . If memory serves me correctly , this is a little green heron .
It's a perfect placement within the frame and the pose offers a nice side profile view.
Well focused, nice clear image with good exposure.
I like that stern expression . I appreciate the clear eye and bill . We have great blue herons here however I have not been fortunate to get the opportunity to photograph them yet.
Well composed allowing a good sense of the habitat . Well presented! .

Gosh your herons are very different from ours in the UK! A great shot with his beady eye watching your every move!
He's well positioned within the frame, with space for him to move in to. The narrow dof gives an excellent non-intrusive background while still showing that it's water. Good detail and lovely natural colours.

A ice capture of a juvenile Heron; they always seem to have serious expression and are very alert. Beautiful focus showing lovely detail and colors of his feathers. Nice one Nieves.

HI Nieves, This heron definitely looks like he's staring at you! Love the pose, along with the great lighting and focus. Love the way you cropped this. The heron is nicely placed within the image! :o) Nancy
