Oh I love it, Allen! Wonderful closeup with super nice details. I know you enjoyed him being so cooperative. They are not noted to do that. I found the Green Heron to be quite skittish. So glad you were able to get both of these shots. I can’t think of anything that could improve them. Just print and hang.

They are both excellent, but the first one is the best.
A difficult image to get, congratulations.

I love the first one with that unkempt look, Allen. The second is a nice Green Heron image, but the first has that extra something that makes a great image.

This is a great shot - a bedhead green heron!
Sharp, perfect comp and good subject for both

Most definitely a punk rock look. Both are excellent, but I like the close-up with that exquisite detail…Jim
