Hi all,

I'm not usually one to do portraits, I prefer shooting the entire bird, but when I got sooo close to this night heron, I couldn't resist! :D

Straight out of Antigua again.

Perhaps I may try a few more portraits, as I really liked this result.

Thanks for looking, C&C welcome.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! Liv2trip, I kinda agree about the frame, but it just looked too bland on its own, so I tried to spice it up a bit.
