This is a pretty picture!
Lol you be stalking these birds lol! But all joking aside this is a beautiful picture! I like how the water plays like a mirror because you can see the bird and the fall colors in the water. I love how the picture is so clear it is almost like you're there watching this bird in action!
You have great focus and awesome color!
Awesome job!
Oh yeah one more thing there is someone birthday 2morrow and I'm trying to think who it is? Hmmm ;°)

Yes - excellent. The muted colors in the water are just right. I would love go on a photo shoot with Willie. He makes it hard to find anything wrong with his pictures. Picture nicle positioned with the bird just off center on the vertical.

Great shot ! Am assuming it was in the fall given the beautiful colorful reflection in the water . Nice composition . Love the symmetry created by bird reflection . Clear and in focus bird well position in the frame. Well done .

    thanks! Four stars mean "good" adjustments needed. Is this what you intended? If so what do you suggest!

    Am no expert and hopefully did not offend you . I felt that the bird could have had more contrast with background if lighted up a bit ,the similar intensity of light kind of blend together together as one .more light on the bird would have separated it from background hence showcasing it .

Excellent Shot. I love the reflection of the water. It captures the colors of fall as well as all the details of the bird. Nice composition and cropping. Congrats.

Amazing colors and beautiful bird. Also good use of rule of thirds.

The colors are so vivid, it's almost like a painting.

Good job :)

Beautiful bird. They are so slow and patient waiting for their food supply to show up and then they can move so fast. You have such great detail in this photo, the coloring is beautiful. One to be proud of for sure.

This is a really great capture. The great blue stands out with such clarity against the mottled backdrop, and the reflection adds just the right balance to the picture. A photograph I'd love to have taken myself so that I could try painting it! Good job!

Great catch here! The colors and details are beautiful. Center of interest and lighting are very good. Love the full reflection of him on the water. Creativity of presentation is beautiful. Eileen

This is so beautiful, excellently composed photo, perfect focusing, but what attracted me the most is the most beautiful lighting and colors. Fall tones are amazing as a background colors reflecting in the water. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

Nice shot of the heron, good focus and clarity. I like the color in the water and the reflection of the heron in the bottom of the picture- very cool shot!
