this is a great photo..the color and detail is wonderful..i got the chills when i read your notes about how you had a fun day with this guy..a quote comes to mind. "The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking." ~ Brooks Atkinson. it really is the journey..the end result of the photo is just an added bonus :) good job..thanks for sharing.

LOL. I bet those wings went up in a hurry once he felt that cold water on his "toes". Great lighting here. Nice details on the bird. I like the light on his face. Nicely done, thanks for sharing

This is a really nice shot.
Color, focus and lighting are very good. There is very nice detail in the wings and I like the stance you caught him in. The Heron is nicely cropped and placed.Very nice presentation. Thanks for sharing

another bird on the ice. Don't they have better things to do or places to go. Nice sharp [perhaps over sharpened a bit] shot, well composed and exposed. Nice separation from background

Comment from catherinerussell
Love this one - he almost looks as if he would be walking on tiptoes if he could, it is so cold! Colouring spot on, lighting excellent especially around his face. Great composition.

Initial Impact: Wildlife - cold (buuurrrr!)
Story Telling: Good potential based solely on capture.
Artist notes: Descriptive, capture information has been shared which helps the reviewer understand how the image was taken. It also serves as a learning tool for others.
Composition: Good POV to place subject at focal point.
Framing: Good - angle is nice touch. I may consider cropping a tad tighter to eliminate some dead space and move the subject a bit more off center (just an opinion and no deduction).
Lighting: The lighting is even across the subject with nice touches of contrast that add interest.
Color: Natural
Focus: Sharp
DOF: Works well to enhance subject
Bokeh: Pleasing with harmonious colors.
Textures: ice
Creativity: the timing and angle work well for this
Comments: Overall a nice capture Willie.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! I am already tight on the crop if I get any closer it will get to grainy. I could move it off center. Thanks for sharing this information.
