I like how the heron has his legs crossed while showing off his beautiful wingspan! It's a great pose and the colors look good. They are excellent fishers :)

Beautiful position of this grey heron, I love the lifted wings, and position of her feet, the splash shows the movement, well focused, clear image, nice details are easily seen throughout, she's got a fish in her bill. Your title fits , she looks like a graceful ballerina! Colors and tones appear natural, well managed lighting . Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!

Comment from Linda Wetzel
It does indeed look like a wildlife ballet with its crossed legs and upraised wings. I like the white edging along the top of the wings and the fine details you captured in the feathers along its neck and chest. The struggling fish in its bill is a rare sight. I like the light and dark areas in the wing feathers.

Very nice action shot of this great heron as it feasts on the local food supply. I agree it appears to be dancing as it struts its wings. Good focus so that the details are easily seen. Nice lighting. Good color. Good sense of the environment. Well done.
