Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
A wonderful visual presented here of this heron as it's taking off. Composition shades, tones, colors, and angles sets the tone perfectly. Well done thank you for sharing.

Many thanks! I had forgotten about this shot until recently as I was archiving my old RAW files onto an external hard drive.

A good looking image posted here into the competition. Your fine and full composition captures an enjoyable in flight moment. Colours and textures are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
