Good shot. Really like the wing span on this bird. Love you captured the colors on him. Good color on the water. Great focusing. The view is centered good. Good job.

Great picture of the blue heron.
wonderful catch, both you as the photographer, and him for his dinner.
such a good moment, with his wings like that.
your clarity is excellent giving definition to feathers, wings, legs, head beak.
nice colors of bird, and water and sand.
nice to have the line of sand to establish the foreground well.
very good light.
well done!

This is well composed and the focus and dof used is good. I like the minimalisation of the shot, bird with fish, sea, sand. Lighting is just right. Timing perfect.
