Tree top perch

I was tracking this great white heron on his way to a water landing when he spotted me and took for the trees landing awkwardly in some tree top branches. After regaining his composure he struck a stately pose donning this indignant glare.

I lke this a lot, Ry. I do have two suggestions. First I think you might want to darken the forked branch that comes in from the right side and joins the trunk just above the bird's feet. Second, I'd check the brightness on the shoulder of the Egret as it looks like the whites might be blown there. If they are, it's not by much and you should be able to bring them down in your RAW converter.
