Thank you all for your comments. (-: In fact, the heron was in the process of opening out its wings, hence I couldn't get the sharpness I'd have wanted. However, the out-of-focus aspect of the rest of the image is intentional (done through tweaking; the original is in focus). Though the bird's feathers are quite a lovely colour naturally, the tweaking brought them to these outlandish (good description, Ian (-: ) hues, which I decided I quite liked. (-: It's meant as a kind of fantasy image. (-:
