It’s quite a nice caputre of a Heron, but I feel that the composition is fundamentally lacking, I would question the placement of the grass and rocks, even to the point where I’d say would it be better to get in closer to the heron with a shallow DOF.
Appreciate your honesty, stumbled across the heron by accident.As with most nature shots, getting too close meant that he flew away so this was the best I could do. Will keep trying until I get the perfect shot.
Thanks

I can completely empathise with you, I suppose it’s the action of ‘sneaking up’ on wildlife (hunched back, walking on tip-toe!) they’re probably expecting to be killed rather than photographed by us!! :P
(edit) Just an afterthought there, perhaps next time be ready to snap him as he bolts from you, they’re bloody dramatic creatures when they take off! :)
