Great Blue Heron, Before and After

 So, I was at Watershed Nature Center yesterday, and came across this Great Blue Heron hunting.  I watched it for 7 minutes (based on photo time tags) and took a few photos.  This is the one that I picked as "best".  I think it is a little flawed, but pretty good.  What say you?

The original is below.  There's not a whole lot of tweaking.  Mostly the crop, to get a little closer, and to get rif of the different textured water in the background.  Also standard adjustments of exposure, contrast, etc.  I did "remove" a bit of something floating just below the heron, and another just above the foreground plant.  Finally, a little hint of dodging and saturation boost on the eye.
