Blue Heron on Black

I was looking at a Peruvian photographers' wildlife images online -- https://www.boredpanda.com/wild-animal-portraits-pedro-jarque-krebs-part-2/ -- and really like the dark background that he used to emphasize the animals. His work is quite amazing and this doesn't begin to do justice to his technique, but I had fun trying to figure out how to use PS layers and background removal (and then fixing edges, etc.) to create an animal portrait in Pedro Jarque Krebs' style.
It's still fabulous, and a great choice to show off this fabulous bird!

Fascinating approach. To me the lower 1/2 front of the heron is too sharply suggested
