A perfect shot here. Wings outstretched and fish in mouth. I could see this as a bronze sculpture.
Quite amazing with the pose and solid background.
Nat Geo worthy as they say. Well done!

Yes, quite a captivating nature shot posted here! Your fine full and central composition captures an enjoyable action moment. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

I love the way these photos come out showing the bird in it's natural state of hunt. While I am learning to offset a bit more in the framing I feel like this one doesn't have a good balance on the left. Otherwise very beautiful.

Very nice capture. I like the tack sharp detail of the head and neck. The background accentuates the bird. Good color overall on the bird. I like the positioning of the subject in the frame. I find that the tip of the wings is a bit soft in its detail. Well done.

A beautiful shot of the Blue Heron with it's wings outstretched. Good artists notes and I like your storytelling with this shot. Good camera techniques and good timing capturing him with a fish in his mouth. Your diffused background soft yet bright compliments your shot along with the nice reflection in this water. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!
