Great Blue Heron

There is still a lot of room for improvement but be kind the wind was blowing about 30+mph and the boat was all over the place. Should have tried stopping down a little more.

Beautiful bird, they are all a little too centered for my tastes. Then 2nd to last shot sure is a cool pose!

One of my favorite water birds. Around here I don't usually see them in trees. I agree the 2nd to last is neat / unusual. Looks like he is scratching the back of his head with his foot while the wind ruffles his feathers as well.

I think the shots were really good especially considering the conditions. I think it just needed cleaned up a bit... The colors and WB were not perfect and the sharpening was off but thats not quite correctable any more.

Here is 30 seconds in lightroom.
