Blue Heron for HomemadeTextures 3

Thanks to Diana's (@ludwigsdiana) helpful critique yesterday, I created a new texture using colors from the original file as well as adding blur hoping to have the heron pop out more as the center of the show. I can tell texture creation is going to take a while to perfect and I would appreciate any critique you have time and interest to offer.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

This is spectacular. The background and the image of the heron are terrific. I love the details and the colors. I think Diana gave terrific advice. Now the background brings out the colors in the heron.
