The focus is spot on. The Heron is showing perfect detail of its body and plumage. That you captured the bird with a fish in its beak is especial intriguing. The colors are realistic. The photo has good depth. The background shows the environment, but is not obtrusive. The reflections are intriguing. The photo is well framed and balanced.

Yummy catch!

Love the ripples reflection
However I wish the fish was a bit more focused.
Great color and detail.
Good luck to you in the contest!

This is a perfect capture - excellent composition - I love the mirror effect as it creates a fantastic oval impression in this picture, like he really is in his own private space - fantastic moment with the fish ready to be eaten - your shot is clear and sharp, perfect in color saturation contrast and lighting , excellent exposure, perfect focus point
A very harmonious and well balanced picture with a touch of magic for the naturally composed egg shape , well seen, well reacted, well done

Awesome catch! Beautiful, and rare shot of a Great Blue Heron as he catches his next meal! The focus on the subject is good, with the blurred reflection in the rippling water, keeps ones eye on the main subject! Great photo!

It's on my photography wish list to capture a heron or egret with a bird in its mouth. I'm glad to see you were able to do it. Such a lovely shot with nice reflection and lovely lighting. Congratulations.

You have pictured this heron catching a fish so well, and I especially like the fine reflections you have captured in the shiny water. The bird is also standing out from the background reeds in an excellent way.

The photo is sharp with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is very good.

I also like the way you have cropped the photo and the placement of the bird within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo Fred, and with an excellent DOF.

Nice timing to capture this one Fred, this beautiful grey heron just caught himself a fish! Well focused, nice clear image, lighting is well managed, colors and tones are natural. Well composed with a nice placement of this bird in the frame, love the surroundings and the partial reflection in the water. Well presented!

I wish I had six stars left. This is an exquisite composition with the heron holding its catch in its long Bill. I like the way the sunlight highlights its gray blue back feathers and the belly of the small fish. The reflection of the heron and the fish in the slow moving water is lovely. The sunlit marsh grasses provide an attractive view of the heron habitat.
