N ice heron, decent setting. Saturation is much too high IMO and the light is rather harsh.

A classic pose and nice habitat. the light is working against you but it's still a nice capture

Grand bird Allen,

The pose of the bird and the composition is fine, but my proposal is to reduce saturation and decrease depth of focus next time.

I like the overall comp and details I see Allen, and you managed the tough light well.
Color balance/sat looks a bit off though.
Nice shot regardless
