Good lens work. You nailed the focus and exposure. The background isn't
ideal, but I could live with that. I might clone out the typography.
But the cutoff legs don't work for me. Nevertheless, a very good
effort.

Having a recent interest in wildlife subjects, I decided to pick up a
telephoto lens for my DSLR. I found a pretty nice copy of the
discontinued Tokina AT-X 400mm F5.6 on eBay. The lens is surprisingly
lightweight and is pretty easily handheld for the most part. This image
is one of the first ones taken with it and is my first shot of the
Great Blue Heron. Feedback appreciated. Thanks for looking.

That's not a stuffed bird, is it? I guess the background looks odd.
I'd take it out (re the background), because the detail on the bird is
good,
but the background is highly distracting.
But I am also with Ken, try to get the legs next time.
You're getting there. Keep it up.
