Willie,
A beautiful picture of this ever hopeful Great Blue Heron, standing on one leg as it scratches it's head with it's other foot head down as it looks for movement below the water...while appearing to be admiring it's own reflection. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Nice pose! The composition is put together well too. I might like a tad more space at the top, but this works well for a lovely image. The reflection is also very nice.

A beautiful pose and a great shot. I like the way the feathers on his head are standing up and the simplicity of the composition with only the bird and his reflection in focus.

A superb capture of the bird and it's reflection. A potential winner of the contest! The subdued background makes bird to pop! Good luck in the contest!

He was probably wondering where all the fish were that day! Beautiful capture of this great blue waiting patiently on an old snag,love the dappling of autumn colors in the water. A real pleasure to view this peaceful scene!

An excellent entry into the competition presented here. Your excellent composition allows us a very enjoyable look at your beautiful heron. Like the classical symmetry showing it's reflection. Exposure and sharpness are good. Great photo!
