Heron Portrait
Noosa River, Queensland.
The adult White-faced Heron is relatively small, pale blue-grey. The forehead, crown, chin and upper throat are white. The crown pattern is variable, with the white occasionally spreading down the neck; the variability makes identification of individuals possible. The iris may be grey, green, dull yellow or cinnamon. The regions between the eye and bill on the side of the head (lores) are black. The beak is black and often pale grey at the base. During the breeding season pinkish-brown or bronze nuptial plumes appear on the foreneck and breast, with blue-grey plumes appearing on the back.

Gillian Everett club has replied to Christine ValinThe focus on its eyes is the very show here.
Perfect details on the body and I also love the way you worked texture of its beak.
Great background colours and lighting.
I agree with Vicky about a bit more of room at the top, but this is still an amazing capture.
