  Lori I find these birds to be a hard subject to photograph, I can't get close enough to get one in detail.

I really like what you have done with this it makes the heron really stand out. You didnt over do it or under do it, it's just right. I think we will see this one again. Good Luck!

  Thanks guys! I had fun doing it. If I had to start over, I might not get it exactly the same again. I just played with the sliders until I liked what I saw.
The truth is, this photo was cropped out of a larger photo and wasn't sharp enough to suit me, so that's why I decided to try the Fractalius filter on it. So often, filters can turn a less than perfect image into something very nice!
