This is what I feel like doing when I hear all of the political rhetoric on T.V. Blah, blah. Great capture. Birds move so fast, you never know what you will end up with. This guy did you a big favor by sticking his tongue out at you. I love the dark background which keeps the focus on the main subjec.

Beautiful bird! All of the different shades of gray are stunning. Wonderful job catching something we don't see very often, the beak open and the thin pink tongue. The lighting is perfect for showing off this bird's features. Great job!

Perfectly timed for you how co-operative of the Grey Heron. You have composed the image well and your focus is sharp on the eye. Awesome detail of the tongue.

This is a wonderful close up portrait of this heron! It's great how you captured him with his mouth wide open and his tongue sticking out. Excellent sharpness and exposure. Very well done!

That bird seems mad and yelling at someone. The photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and the sharpness of detail. The tongue of the bird shows perfectly. The dark background emphasizes the bird nicely. The bird is excellently placed within the frame. The portrait is balanced.

Fantastic nature profile capture, just at the right time Susan! Excellent clarity and camera skills shown here. Every little detail is clearly viewed of this Grey Heron, even his tongue...a rare thing. Great framing. A pleasure to view Susan!

A great closeup of a beautiful subject. The tight composition is perfect and the detail in both his eye and his plumage is very nice. I like the tongue and the naturally dark background.
