I was in northern Florida on the Rainbow River and shot this just as the heron flew. While many would throw this image away, I sort of like the art side of this. What do you guys think?

I like it! While I appreciate a close, detailed shot, I prefer bird photos that have a bit more interest in them, in terms of composition, environment, etc. This one bridges the gap between wildlife and abstract.

I agree. as a wildlife photo, it sucks haha.

but as an abstract photo, it tells a story and is interesting to look it. makes it a keeper in my book
