Splendid. Highly professional. The bird's wings appear so thin and delicate, yet with much detail visible. Well done!!

Thank you, Penny and DT! I did the usual post processing on this and I moved the bird a bit, about a 1/2 inch to the right, to a better position but other than that I didn't do anything extraordinary to it. ~Sharon

the bird almost floats - great shot with nice detail. Penny Street

This is wonderful, Sharon. Was there any post processing done? I really like the illustration-like look of this shot. -dtallakson

Thanks for asking, Pops! It was shot this way and, though I tried it with the bird flying into the image, I decided I like it this way. Somehow, the extra space seems more "negative" with the bird leaving than it does with the bird coming in to it. I was lucky to have a lightly overcast day to get the almost white negative space. Thanks, Lydia! ~Sharon

Sharon, this is elegant. I'll ask, is it better with the heron flying out the frame or heron flying into of the frame. I think it works either way.

Beautifully done, Sharon! The white is really striking. ~Lydia
