Wow this is such a pretty bird. I love when you took the picture how you captured the length of his wings and how he is ready to take off. You are an awsome photographer!

Lovely composition! The upright log the heron stands on is his pedestal. Surrounded by the impressionistic greens,he is outstanding.
Cordially,

This is a great shot of the Heron=) It looks like it is ready to tip toe out onto the water=) The focus is very good! The color and lighting are great! I love the pose of the bird! Focus is very good! Great job and a pleasure to view! Lori

Comment from Shadow catcher


I saw a fish,and it was THIS BIG! Wonderful capture of this great blue heron balancing on a snag above the water. Wings nicely outstretched,focus is extremely sharp so we could count each flight feather.Non distracting background enables this bird to command our immediate attention!

I can wait hours on end observing a Great Blue. Love the fully open wingspan and the unique captured pose.
Focus is sharp and white balance is handled well.
I would only suggest De-saturating green a tad.

Another good looking contest winner presented here! Your very good full and central composition offers us an enjoyable action moment!! Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

This is beautiful. Your ability to capture the moving creatures with such clarity is wonderful. Perfectly centered and that pleases my eye.

Another real beauty from your archives. The detail in the plumage is exceptional and the turned head of the heron makes for an attractive composition.

The wingspan on this heron is something else,and of course the shot is about that,frontal view would have been slightly better,but guess this was the only spot in which to get this,you did get a good moment though,nice one this...Brian

    Thank you so much! I would have liked to shot it from the front but this is all he would give me.
