Workshop Note
This photo had to much green, probably the result of the reflexion of the green grass from under the Heron so I've used Photoshop to better balance the colors, highlight the shadows and sharpen a bit on the Heron body

1 - Shadows/Highlights to change the levels of the photo
2 - color balance to add some magenta and blue (to remove the excessive green)
3 - magnetic lasso tool to select the Heron body and unsharp mask
4 - Bursh tool in color mode and 25% opacity and painted the water with cyan color

Hope you like it
