Well done! I do like the sharpness, detail and color of this photo, as well as the pose you caught the heron in. My suggestion would be to see what it looks like if you straighten the horizontal lines and maybe crop a bit off of the top. thanks for sharing.

I was wondering about those lines -- its not really the horizon -- its the muddy bottom of the gulf at a very low tide.

Nice shot Scott. Bird's head is nice and sharp. I like the BG as posted as the lines in the BG are not always the horizon and if they are not then they do not need to be straight. Do so much rotation would many times make the bird's angle not true to reality.

Some great details and it's a good POV Scott.
I agree about the BG since you explained it,
Well done.

Hey Scott nice angle of the bird and the prey a plus. I'm not sure about the crooked horizon line. Might want to rotate a bit?
