Great Blue Heron Posing

Gallery: AvianPosted January 14, 201367 views5 comments

Here is a pic of the same Heron and perch I posted earlier(he has two legs now) in a different pose. I took the advice of everyone and moved the bird to the right a little. I think it looks much better. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the all the input.

Nice Bill. Good detail and it's neat to see it with the neck so extended-an unusual pose. I like the composition.

Like it. Too bad about the low light and lack of bright sky. It is a great photo, though.

I like the direction of the light and the fact its not too harsh. The perch has quite a lot of character too. Nice job

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to comment.
Patrick you commented about the low light and lack of bright sky.
What adjustments do you think I could make to make it better?
Thanks Bill

Much improved comp over the last heron post Bill, I like this.
Good detail/DOF and the colors look natural.
Have a great weekend!
