Hello from the Critique club

An interesting image that contributes to the challenge well

A competent shot of a heron doing what herons do, I find myself captivated by trying to determine what he has in his beak and if the red object immediately behind and below his beak is part of that same unfortunate victim. He stands out well from the soft focus background and so I have to disagree with some of the comments about softness and standing out from the background, the eye is pin sharp and thats what matters. Thanks for the processing details, all very involved by the sound of it and I would say it has generally paid off

Thanks for your entry Alice

Great wildlife picture of a heron. The left side is a little dark. Some structure adjustment in post processing to make the bird stand out from the rock in the back. I give you a 7.

focus on heron's head and neck looks soft
