Great nature picture. The way you have photographed the bird is excellent, added with the muted red foliage reflection is the water which adds texture to this shot. The log sticking out of the water is nice too as it gives the impression that's where the birds is heading to. Excellent photography skills, exposure, DOF, composition and framing. Thank you for sharing this with us.

This is a great shot. I like the way the reflections are captured creating a tapestry of color. The sharp image of the great blue against the fall tapestry is the best feature of this photo and instantly draws in the viewer's attention.

Beautiful photo of this heron. Especially like the soft colors of this photo. The heron on one side and log on the other adds balance. The reflection in the water is striking. Beautiful colors and tones throughout the image.

Its a very very good shot and nicely composed and well placed in the frame. These are beautiful birds to photograph if you can get the light on the feathers. You have succeeded well here.

I think you did a great job here. Focus and exposure are on the money. The warm reflections from the background trees finish eloquently. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful shot. Perfectly balanced with the bird wadding in the water and a stump sticking out of the water in front of him. The colours are gorgeous, particularly the muted red tones appearing as reflections. Can only assume there is a tree on the bank with autumnal tones in its leaves. Reflections of both the stork and stump give the viewer another bite of the cherry, so to speak. Beautifully framed and excellent focus and lighting.

This is a beautiful photo. The bird is clear and does look like it is waiting for its dinner. The reflection in the water is beautiful as well, the reflection of the bird is very clear and the reds must be the sunset? Great photo! Good luck in the contest!
