This juvenile Blue Heron has been my pal for a few days on Turtle Creek. He/she is interesting to watch playing in the water with twigs and fingerling fish. Heron was scrathcing its head with feathers up.

Clear & sharp with great colors, the centered comp works for me. Great exposure.
Like the leg up pose and small concentric ripples there as well

PS - Since you have room at 50% crop, I might suggest a two degree CW rotation to level those ripples.

Nice sharp shot and great detail. I like the fluffed up feathers on his head.

Excellent details, the reflection in the water is very nice.
