The detail of this bird is fabulous! The focus is head long on target. A masterful use of your photo gear. A great pose looking you over with one eye. Sly!

Would like to see more leg. Irregardless, this hands down one of the sharpest shots I've seen. Great one, this ... B-)) Bob

This is just gorgeous sg. I could see this Heron portrait in a bird book.

Focus is so spot on crisp...wow...throughout too. Those long body feathers almost look painted on they are so perfect. Even the branches and dead leaves ard seed pods are perfectly shown. The lovely pale blue sky is an absolutely stunning backdrop for this guy....it looks as if he's posing for you....eye and head detail could not be better.

I was scrolling through looking for a place to land my final six of the week....lol...was debating on a couple when I came to your shot here. Easy decision as far as I am concerned. Just wonderful work from beginning on through to crop....so BAM!! It's yours sg.

Deborah

This grey heron is quite the beauty all sophisticated in poise. I really find myself drawn to the angle of taking your shot as well as the framing of rich blues surrounding and complimenting his form. Nice focus, lighting and expressive draw, his gaze almost lending the impression that he feels you don't see him if he stays still enough.

Of course, as you are so beautiful - fantastic perspective, wonderful angle, clear and sharp in details, excellent contrast and lighting
I think you did a great job taking him against the soft blue uniform sky giving you such a perfect background that lets the branches and the bird stand out so well
excellent use of space with the perfect negative space
excellent second as his placement in your frame makes this shot excellent and perfect - great reaction, super shot

Comment from Imaginos


Such a lovely bird. I love the haughty little pose of the beak and look of the eye. Speaking of eyes, you have a wonderful one for photography. I look forward to seeing more of it from you.

This is a well focused photo. All the details are sharp. The eye is impressive; the viewer feels looked at even on the screen. The colors are brilliant, but look realistic. The natural colors of the bird are brought to attention by the blue sky. The close crop woks well. The composition is balanced. It is indeed a nice bird portrait. Best luck for the contest.
