I love this photograph ! the heron is so fascinating to watch , but usually for a long long time ,as it rests and looks for snacks for hours sometimes ..usually rewarding you with something really special ; your colours are absolutely beautiful , the technical aspects are excellent ! capturing it as it flies off is an accomplishment in its self , great shot !

What an incredible action shot!You can see the tension in the bird as it prepares to take off.Lovely subtle reflections which add to the picture rather than being a distraction. Thank you for sharing :)

You have captured a great shot. Good composition, focus, crisp detail, DOF, texture and light. The background helps make the bird pop out at you. Good artist notes. Well done, Willie. Thanks for sharing.

wow just an amazing capture willie. (hope all is well). Love the composition. Lighting is nice and warm, love morning light. Noise is minimal in this considering such a high ISO. Nice work!

    Thank you so very much! I had noise in some others that was too bad to use! I wish there was something I could do to get the shutter speed high without getting the noise!

Just the right instant made your wait more than worthwhile. These are the things that make photography exciting. Great composition, sharp focus and all around great shot. Even the lighting is interesting

I like the dynamic effect the "stop" action has the reflection and the cropping add interest the colors are wonderful, great job
