Tricolored Heron in flight

This is a picture that I like from my last walk at a local park and I can't understand clearly why. For many it may be that the background is too busy but this is the point more appealing to me. Shot with a Canon R6 using a EF100-400L.

I don't see the background as busy but relative to the flight of the heron. No background would leave the heron suspended in mid-air without any reference. The photo settings has the wing movement frozen in flight. My complements.

Thanks John!...  Up to certain point, I think that the background offers some kind of frame for the bird.

Maybe the Heron flying thought the marsh would make a more natural background, but there is nothing wrong with this.  I think the geometric background is fine and shows a connection to man and wildlife and how they coexist.

My two cents is that there's a visually appealing contrast here.  The background's all straight lines and then you've got this bird in the foreground who's mostly curves which creates an appealing disruption!  That and I personally love how your bird buddy's so perfectly framed within one of the "windows" in this scene.  Keep going!

Thanks Danny!
