Very nice colours of bird and BG! :wink: It looks to me as if it needs a bit of a right rotation.. :?:

Love the tall, stretched pose and soft light on the bird and bg. Nice one.

Sweeeeeeet. I like the way the pano crop matches the stretched neck. Maybe a little CW rotation.

You don't see many Green Heron photos with their neck stretched. Excellent Richard.

Killer image, Richard. It does seem to need a little CW rotation to me, too.

Sweet shot. I'd move him to the right just a bit.

Wonderful to get a clean shot at one of these herons right out in the open, with an excellent BG.

The pose and BG are sweet. As others have said....a little CCW rotation....so he doesn't fall off his perch!

Very sweet image of this species. I think they are difficult to get with such a nice background, let alone with the neck stretched.
