Very nicely done. I was wondering how you got hime to stay put. You were very fortunate. The focus is great. I love the look of that eye. The background is beautiful. A really nice capture.

Very nice shot willie. The details are wonderful and make me not want to be on the receiving end of this spear. Great job.

Never mind he was irritated, you got this great shot, and many other I'm sure:) Wonderful portrait, such a cool angle and look as if he's ignoring you:) Wonderful colors and lighting, perfect focus and depth of field. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

Excellent capture Willie. He is looking so intense one can only wonder what he is thinking of you and your camera.

Just goes to show you that you can never predict how animals or birds will behave! Your composition is great here, focus is very good as the exposure. So we have lots of good detail and colour to enjoy. Not sure I like the very dark blue/black colour above the heron, it seems quite out of keeping with the rest of the image. Otherwise very nice work, well done!

FAR won't let me give you another 6 yet, so take the 5 as a virtual 6.

I have tried many times to get close to these beautiful birds and they always get spooked too soon and consequently I don't get the detail that you captured here.

The composition is nice. With the birds head and neck dominating the left side of the frame, his long beak extends all the way to the right, creating good balance.

Your color is true and the background is not distracting but keeps the look very real.

The details are sharp and you got some nice light.

Very well done.
