Very few birds now, however by the evening we find a few pond herons perched on the dry trees. A preening pond heron

Hi Balan
Thank you for showing us this lovely bird. The Pond Heron’s coloring and lighting really sets mood of this photograph. Very nice work.

Some interesting side/back light must have made for challenging processing. I like the background color combinations and the tree limbs add to the mysterious feel of the image.

I like how the light is coming through the feathers. An attractive bird; thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words …yes late evening light from one side …that was indeed a challenge.

Lovely bird on a very interesting perch that works well with his pose! The BG is gorgeous!
