I've been trying to take a photo of any Heron for the past 2 weeks. They are so elusive, and tend to quietly soar away before you can blink any eye. I was very fortunate he stood still long enough for me to take about a dozen images of him.
Cropped, adjusted color levels manually, ran thru textures at 25% transparency, added about 20% softness, resized for web, added border.

Wonderful composition and lighting for this challenge. All the space works well because the Heron is looking back into it. I voted earlier in the week (7) but wanted to leave some comments.
