You captured the moment Fred, well done.

Camera angle and settings highlight the preening activity of the Heron. Feather detail is well seen. the background bokeh forms a fine contrast around the bird.

Nice shot... Bob

A nice shot Fred, and nicely in focus too.
Good detail in the feathers and her nest and very nice partial reflection. And the dark background has no distractions to draw away one's eye.

These birds certainly are very limber. Looks like its standing on a nest of sorts. Wonderful capture, very clear and focused. Thanks for sharing it.

A very interesting and lovely visual if this large bird pruning his feathers. Your composition and tones are very well balanced. Love the reflection presented in the water.

This is beautiful bird photography.You have timed it well. The light, and the composition have worked well and you have caught the heron in action very well. Sorry. I 've run out of sixes. This deserved one from me.Good effort.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this Grey Heron busy preening her feathers while standing on an Islet of sticks in the lake on which it's reflected. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A good looking nature image presented here! Your eye catching composition grants us a good view of that grooming bird and its location. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!

The grey heron with the bluish-white feathers and the blues on the head, is attractive, whether it is cleaning her feathers or not. Her reflection in the water is nice.
