I like this shot and prefer it to the earlier one. I would clone out
the yellow thing on the dock. A simple PhotoShop exercise. I might also
clean up the background a bit in the area of the beak and chest.

Anyway, with this particular bird my angle was severely limited to one
spot on a pier at a Marina on the Seattle waterfront and could only
get this rear viewpoint. Hence the distracting background. This shot
shows more of the Heron, but not sure if the exposure is better. Maybe
too much Highlight Recovery in the Bibble Lite conversion. I hear
what you guys are saying about the legs though, it makes quite a
difference. I have some other shots that turned out quite nice of
Kingfisher, Goldeneye and Mergansers. I have yet to try the lens out
with the F1.7x adapter, but I hear that a 1.4x will give better
results.
