Great shot Daniel. A beautiful Heron photographed well. I might go a little lighter with it.

Really sharp capture! Agree with making it maybe 1/2 stop lighter, and possibly color balancing a little toward blue. The little bits of mud off its feet are a bonus.

Too dark as is already been commented on. I'd probably prefer a horizontal crop in this case. Good one, Daniel!

Lovely bird and a nice sharp image where it counts. Critiques already mentioned.

I always find looking at LCD mon a pain. They are mostly, if not all, too bright and contrasty even if after you setting it to the minimum. I'm sure LCD techology and cost will improved in the next few years but for now I will stick to my good old flat screen CRT mon instead ...
