Beautiful image (as usual). Is the top of the heron the only white spot on the bird? If so, the white may not need any burning.

Very nice pose, Jagdeep. I always like the Herons landing-it’s just a very cool angle. I don’t know if you can, but I think I’d try bringing out a little feather detail in the bright thighs.

Nice landing pose Jagdeep. Love the spread wings. I could see taking down the highlights a tad. Nice image.

for bringing out gross overlook from my side ! I decided to reprocess the image.

[Jim_Gavin]

The reprocess is spot on.

I like the head on landing pose and the environmental aspect. Re-post looks good.
