A fabulous capture! I can see the that your subject is quite intent on its prey here. Excellent focus and nicely blurred BG. Excellent composition

Hello Ricardo!
Nice portrait of this heron framed just the right way and shot against beautiful blue background. I'm wondering if it wouldn't look totally perfect if you just lowered your POV a little to make this dark lower left corner move out of the frame. I guess it could be gotten rid of in the Photoshop, but possessing that kind of skills is still in the remote future for me. So, no workshop here. Congratulations!

Hello Ricardo, nice shot. I like the composition. The top of the head looks a little OE but it looks like you had some tricky light there. Well done.

Gran primer plano de esta maravillosa ave Ricardo... realmente.
La composición lograda contra el fondo azul es grandiosa.
Excelente POV, excelente DOF, escelente nitidez, con detalles inusuales en las plumas blancas, tan difíciles de resolver muchas veces.
Felicitaciones y Saludos... Ricardo

This is a fantastic shot Ricardo. I tried several times to get a similar shot but always get the exposure wrong.
Yours is perfect, great light, the whites are exposed correctly and brilliant sharpness.
