That's better than "pretty good". That is such a beautiful compisition.

Did you notice the shadow of the lower sprig on your background?

I have been trying to get a shot of one of these for a couple of years now.

Here are a few different looks of a couple Green Herons I shot while kayaking last Sunday, or at least that is what I think they are. I have miss ID'ed a Bitten as a Green Heron on this site before... so if I am wrong, then please correct me.

I agree, very nice images. I like #2 best

+1, #2 is nice; sharp and nice blurred background. What did you use?
