Nice detail throughout the bird. I've never seen that white plume blowing forward like that. Nice catch.

Michel, great photo. The plume going forward really grabs attention. Would like to see more definition between the back and dark BG.

Excellent! I'd prefer a bit more separation from the BG along the back and head but this a terrific image as is.

I think this is great! It looks like the Heron has antennae. :) I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts!

Love the blowing plumes. I've never observed them this far forward.
