Hi Steve. I really like the blurred wings and the sharp body. The background greens look a bit desaturated and the “green” in the heron is normally close to “teal” so you might try increasing the green saturation a bit to see if that looks more natural. A very nice shot and worth working on to get it exactly where you want it.

Hi Steve
My only addition to Dennis’s comments, would be to look at opening up the frame some.
