Same heron as last week (sorry, too busy to go out and shoot something new). This time I corrected the white balance cropped him tightly. It is a very different photo.

I'm still not sure what correcting the white balance is but I know that it is important. I've learned that cropping can really do a lot for a photograph.
So you made a very good photo a great one.
It is very different. Plus it's a gift to get the photography lesson while looking at a beautiful great blue (which I could never tire of). Merry Christmas!
Looks different. I Like it!
marvelous photo.
A lovely shot, especially with the flowing water.
Nice work! Great picture!
I love the way you captured the feathers softly falling away from the body..excellent Bird!
Oh, to have lots of megapixels is a croppers dream! I agree that half the fun is in the crop! You have distilled the essence out of your full frame with this sublime composition. Well done. ;-)WBW
He's even more handsome this week, I can see his feathers better under his neck... & I love the water effect! Wonderful work
Merry Merry Christmas & Happy Happy New Year!!! =)
I like it! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I like this photo more because now he is the photo, and the water and rocks are secondary and only important as far as they are his habitat. Also I probably would have used a faster shutter speed to avoid the soft water look, because he is not a soft bird,but rather a majestic predator. Also because you risk blurring if he moves, and these guys are so hard to find. Again this is only my opinion, I liked the other one, but I like this one a lot more.Gary & Boom of The Vermilon River.
Very nice shot of the heron, Martha! I like the way you cropped it.

Hi :)
tantissimi auguri di Felice Natale a te e alla tua famiglia.

I really like this image. It is particularly strong as an abstract design. As well, the tight focus brings out the character of the bird and avoids all the noise and confusion created by the surrounding rocks in the earlier image.
