Green heron with fish

What a skilled capture of a lovely scene. The greens all around the lovely bird are vivid. The pink blossom is lovely, and her perch, the branch is nice. Of course, her catch is well seen and best wishes in the contest.

    Most welcome indeed, artist friend.

This is one of those moments that I wish I had a six left! Love the pose of the heron and that it actually has a fish in its mouth. Both lighting and focus show the bird off well. The framing is also done well. I thin the bird is perfectly placed within. Wish I had a six to bless this with! Wishing you luck in the contest! :o) Helvi

Great capture, the ones near me stay far from reach to get close enough with my junker. The colors and clarity are outstanding! Simply beautiful!

    Many thanks, think it?s one has gotten quite use to people going by so he just ignores everyone and goes about his business-lol!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that successful hunter and its nice location. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Great looking post!. Fine example of wild life photography. Your timing appears to be perfect and you have captured the expectant look on the bird's face. Good luck!.
