I know you might not have enough resolution for that, but a tighter crop to the neck, the S, would have made it better

Good capture. A little bit of levels adjustement and sharpening would have made this image pop up more.

nicely captured nature shot - the S these guys give us is splendid

I just wonder about the crop - there seems to be a bit extra space behind the bird that doesn't seem to be aiding the shot - a bit more in front where the bird is looking might give this one even a bit more eye appeal

Excellent shot; I can really see the color on the heron and the detail on each and every feather. The body looks a little sharper than the head to me; I'd prefer equal sharpness but he may have moved his head a fraction when you shot.
