You have recorded a rare sight, and colors are vividly presented.

At our lake home and at Florida stay, I have never seen this great view. Our birds seem drab in comparison with this fine photo. Thanks for sharing.

Great impact! Beautiful soft natural light, well timed to capture him as he flies off with his catch! Good focus and lovely color harmony

He looks terrific especially that beautiful blue wing span. I like how he's taking off. The wood stump is interesting too. The blue ripples look cool. Great image well done.
thanks, Natalie

Nice catch, for you and the heron. Excellent stop action, your color tonality and focus is spot on. The story of your picture has many levels. And certainly life and death is the main one. Well done my friend, enjoyed viewing, John

Another great capture.

Composition right on, like the oval of wavelets that the heron is excaping, the post that provides an anchor point, the suspended droplets of water, the graceful sh ape of the body and out spread wings. And of course, the head held high, holding the prize.

Colors work well, background supports and does not compete with the subject that is very clearly defined.

Do question the sharpness but the softness may just reflect the low quality of the far site.

Well done and deserving more than the maximum o 5 stars that I am able to give at this time.

Well, your wait was worth every second. This is probably one of the best shots of a heron I have seen for a long time, Great action and good composition. I cannot praise this highly enough and I haven't got any sixes left.!

Awesome photo. Great blue herons are beautiful and majestic birds and possess tremendous hunting skills. The clarity and sharpness you've captured in this photo are amazing. I really enjoy the colors reflecting off of the water and the water being splashed from the heron taking off with his catch is great. Great job of capturing this action shot of the heron taking off with his dinner.
