If I had a 6 my friend, it would be yours for this shot. I love the simplicity of the composition and the wise use of space. The beautiful colour reflections in the water are the perfect background for the soft grey of the bird. Well done my friend, and good luck in the contest. Cyn

This is an amazing shot! Lucky you. Wonderful rich and unusual colors for water. Lovely composition and awesome focus. The title really fits the image with the fantastic sheen on the crappie to make it such a prominent element here. Focus excellent. Great detail in the log and its reflection. Overall a super job!

I think this is a lovely and very lucky shot of a bird with a fish in its beak. You captured it well. It is clear and crisp, has an interesting story behind it and I love the pink water reflections.

Wonderful "in the moment shot!
Your color framing of the bird is great, making him stand out while holding his meal! It creates a lovely mood.

Willie this is an excelent job and capture of the main object in its natural environment. Great color and the best timing for a photographer capturing this moment. Great focus. Good job here.

I am learning a lot about these blue herons, and they are definitely an interesting bird. How fantastic that you captured him actually catching a fish!
Good clarity and unusual colors in the water, which compliment the heron nicely. The log is a great accent point and adds to the good composition of this shot.
All the best to you for this contest!

What a perfect shot! I like how you capture him with the fish in it's mouth. Good sharp focus and color. I do like the reflection on the water. The log looks good too. Well Done!

There are lots of things I like about this photo. The birds dinner is of course one of the things and the pinky colour of the water another.
