I like the Heron fluffing here Sue, Looks like should be good detail in the bird. Hopefully, at f/5, the log behind the bird should be blurred enough to seperate the heron. Looks like good detail in the snow. Just hard to tell with this size photo. :toast:

I like the fluffed out feathers. Kind of a small post to evaluate.

Nice shot sue he is giving a nice pose and I think you have placed him in the frame very nicely.Not sure but you may get away with brightening the whole image just a touch.
