This both scares and impresses me. The fact that you said its uncropped makes me scared for you going that close even in zoom in. The angle is perfect and the lighting is spot on. Great job!

Lovely capture of this Green Heron- perhaps standing guard over her little ones.
Good close up of facial details and with a beautiful glow highlighting the bird.
Good focus, clarity and tone.
Nice technique.
Pleasing to view.

Such wonderful photograph of the little green heron with great details with such beautiful contrasting colors so nicely framed with dark background.

Great name and description for this so nice presentation.
Out of six, this photograph should get one.

Hey Eileen!
This is a beautiful capture of this green heron! The lighting and highlights are excellent and show up well on the feathers. The darker background is a great backdrop. Well captured!

Eileen,
A beautiful portrait of this female Little Green Heron standing just outside her nest. the light sparkling in her golden eye, while highlighting her beautiful plumage. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
