Definition in the heron’s plumage is outstanding, Peter, and I like the simple, elegant composition. I do think it might benefit by just a bit more room at the top if it’s available.

Hi Sandy & Dennis
Thank you for your comments. Dennis, I didn’t like dark waves in the up-per right corner of the frame.

Hi Peter, very nice details and exposure. I like the pose too. These are subtly striking (if that’s a thing) in my opinion. Nice composition with the full water ripple included. I was going to say more room on top as well but I see what you mean about the dark area in upper right.
