    Default Purple Heron (Juvenile)

    This tall guy is a regular visitor in a nearby pond. Unlike whistling teals and cormorants this particular bird is quite oblivious of my presence. I usually shoot during late evening hours as at that time the sun is directly behind me. Today, I waited for half an hour to capture a feeding moment but alas was unlucky. May be some other day:-)

    The vertical composition looks good. I would have liked a bit more space at the bottom. There are some loss of details. Is this full frame? As it is regular visitor, you can try to get closer by using a hide or parking yourself at one place. Using manual focus will be better as it is difficult to lock the focus on the eye and the focus might lock in the background. Thanks for sharing.

    I would reduce the contrast as the blacks in some places have lost details. At f10 aperture I was expecting more details, if it is not a big crop. You can actually get some good images if you continually visit the same spot for several days and wait at one spot patiently. At times these birds do some thing interesting which the regular birders miss out. Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers,
