Good capture. Love the colours in the water. The lovely reds and golds make a nice backdrop for the grey of the heron. Nicely cropped to produce good composition. Good focus and light

This shot is simply beautiful. Great composition, nice lighting, the colors are fantastic, and the reflection is the icing on the cake.

Comments: Great Shot Willie. I voted for this one. You have done very well. If I remember right you were way ahead in the voting. It is a very good picture of my favorite bird to photograph. You have done well both in capturing the bird and the mirror image from the reflection. We get our two birds in the bush (lol) and a winner on our hands. Good DOF. Good composition. Good focus. Good picture. Good Color. Thanks for sharing.

    You are very welcome. How do you get the focus so sharp and clear?

Beautifully lit capture of this great blue heron! Love the shimmering Fall tones moving across the water's surface as well as the reflective beauty. Nice soft blends behind your focally refined subject.

Beautiful photo. Love the contrast of the crane both in color and clarity against the water . Nicely framed with reflection of crane.

This is a beautiful photograph that would work well both as a bird image and an autumn image.

You placed your heron (and its wonderful reflection) perfectly, off center but with enough space to see the reflections of the fall colors in the water. The small log he is standing on is an excellent division between reality and reflection.

Your focus is incredibly sharp, I love the detail visible in the heron. Your color is rich but true.

Wonderfully done.

Herons are a lot of fun to watch.

I like the framing you chose.

The bird and fall colors reflecting in the water are a nice touch.

Very nice capture.
