Really excellent photo, right place right time. I don't know how many Great Blue Herons I've seen in my life, but I've never seen one catch a fish.

Great capture. Image has good initial impact. Image is well focused and shows good detail. The colors and lighting are good. Nice stop action shot with the water splashing into the air.

Nice catch! (The heron too!) Nice detail, sharp. Good colour mix. Like that the reflections are providing the background. Thanx and good luck!

This is such a funny shot, Willie, with this heron tiptoeing off with his loot as if you caught him in the process of the heist. Beautiful lighting. Such character, love the protective and guarded wingspan as well as the beautiful Fall tones and reflective richness. Great stilled water splashing up as well as rippled stirrings.
