A good capture against a pretty sky. Like the back light enhancements on the Osprey wings.

Both eyes fixed dead on you while he sailed by for his portrait.
And a good backdrop for the portrait too.
Very interesting image!

Definitely an interesting image on its own right, but add that unusual (to me) green heron, and it does pique the interest!
