a bird

Yergi

So i was shooting some other things and here lands this bird. The homeowner was extatic and so i tried my best at shooting this bird. I am excited to be able to provide her with this picture and i wonder if you could help me maximize this shot.

I have only inreased some luminance and saturation in LR3. The thing that i cannot help but notice is the scalloped "shadow" of the sea grapes as they intersect the sky. What is this?

Thanks guys and dolls!

For those wondering: I was told this is a Night Heron. This was taken in Ocean Ridge, FL @ 1:10 in the afternoon. The heron is standing on the infinity edge of a swimming pool. The sea grapes are across a small yard, then the palm trees are across a road, and then ocean. Iso 100, f2.8, exp 1/2500, 70mm. Picture is cropped, but i was about 8' from the heron.

I like it, a very inviting picture.

Nicer capture, this is a Golden-Crowned Night-Heron. I like your low angle with this shot as well.
