Do you like it?

This is one of those, “Do you like it?”, type of shots. This is a Chinese (or Java) Pond Heron, shot in northern Vietnam. This rice paddy was being flooded next to the cabin we were in at Tam Coc Gardens. As the water flooded the fields, many wading birds arrived. I assume they were after worms, insects, etc, that were being driven out of the ground and vegetation from the rising waters. This was taken at sunset with much smoke in the air to the west from agricultural fires; the colors are real-they have not been “Photoshopped”. Unfortunately I could not get down lower for a better POV. Processed in PS with heron brought up slightly. About 75% crop.
