Great captured shot! Yes an amazing reflection in the still waters. Nicely framed.
Great detail highlighting the features and feathers of this Heron.
Well done!

Comment from Nancy Montana
The perfect catch of a mirror image in the water. The greys and blues of the bird are well defined, and the water is plainly marshy. I like the detail on the bird especially the long feathers.

Eileen,
A beautiful picture of the Tri-coloured Heron busy fishing it's eyes fixed ahead under the water's surface while it's shadow reflection is an added bonus to this picture. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Nicely taken image. The focus is very sharp so all of the details are drawn out. Good composition with the subject moving into the image. Good reflection. Well seen.

I like the angle in which you shot this...you got the reflection in nicely. what is that in the water with him? It looks as if he is about to eat it! Good luck in the contest!

thanks Kristi, that is a reed in the water... I'm sure there were little fish swimming around it that caught his eye. :)

Quite a good entry into the competition posted here! Your nice composition allows us an enjoyable look at your heron. Sharpness and exposure are fine, well done!

Absolutely love this bird, have had them in my backyard when I lived over on the coast. Love the shadow he creates. His coloration is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
