Oh my goodness! I literally fell out of my seat when I saw this! The image is absolutely beautiful! I especially like the way you did the long neck feathers. They so make this heron stand out! Knowing you did this on your own without the help of AI is even more impressive. Love the curved branch the heron is standing on and the way you did the background. Image of the heron has beautiful detail! I'm so glad I have a six left! This is more than deserving of that honor! Wishing you luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

I like e way the heron is standing on the curved branch, and looking ff to the right.
This is well created, arranged and presented!

Very nicely done! At first look I thought it was a photograph. The Great Blue is one of my favorite to photograph. They are fascinating to see, especially when going in after a fish.
Well done! Looks like a winner to me!

A very enjoyable digital picture of Grey heron on a perch as it pursues his next meal. Using the painting and computer generated. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

This is a great entry into the contest. The picture is so clear, almost better than a photograph; detail and clarity are excellent, good luck in the contest.

I live what you have done with the blue heron image. The digital changes create a wonderful new artistic look. I like the squiggly leaves in your background! Geeat job
