Bird

./

Nice use of the complex crossed angles aligning with the heron. The smaller roots in midair even seem to frame the bird. The smooth water with the colors associated with the bird is nice also. I often see these guys in this type of cover, so it is a good representation of their behaviour.

 

My only suggestion might be to have been a little closer or crop the bottom and right a little with a little less off of the left to bring the focus more to the Heron. I think it would still provide a good sense of the birds environment.

 

Great stuff in the rest of the folder, too.

This is a great picture, but it's more of the tangled branches than it is the Heron. Some cropping might help, or maybe a shallower DOF to isolate the bird.
