 Thanks everyone, this guy was right it front of the sun as it was setting creating the golden tones. Image quality not so good, I really need a better zoom lens (tamron gets soo soft at 200-300mm)

Nice neck position, color, and composition. The white specs are distracting and contribute to the feel of being overprocessed.

Very, very nice image, even with the artifacts around the heron's head. Nice colour treatment as well.
