Photo taken at the Heron Rookery just south of the town of Moro Bay, California. Gb Heron, Great Egret, Cormorants and BC Night Heron nest in this rookery and this is the only "clear" shot I have ever had.

Perfect placement in the frame. The pastel colored sky is excellent. :)

Very strong image, Neil. Looks like a wallhanger to me.

Very nice silhouette and good composition. I think I would select the whole background and blur it a bit to reduce the noise.

Well done. I love the background color. Might try cropping some from the bottom and more from the top to a square. Thanks for sharing.
And best, Artie
