Wonderful shot.
Excellent initial impact.
Maybe a little more cropping but it's just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing.

A good view on your heron who looks to be Nice low sun angle with a long shadow, focused and framed to show the early morning details.

great natural image, love his shadow, good focus on his wing feathers, great clear colours, he looks like he is stuck in the mud!

nice capture of the bird, but the background/empty space is too big, I would prefer to have the bird seem better and larger

thanks for sharing

I like the pose you caught here of this lovely white faced heron, showing his shadow clearly as he walks along in the sunshine.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Comment from supergold
good framing and focus of this heron looking for some food; apparently you have the same grey herons like in Europe;
