What a lovely capture the Heron in silhouette in contrast to the reflections of gold on the water. A very eye catching composition.

Wow! I mistook this for a painting! This looks poetic too. A wonderful shot of nature. You have timed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good luck in the contest!

Another well done piece Willie, the silhouetting of the Heron is impressive, very impressive. Off to the side, you presented us with an artistic view of mother nature, surrounded by aggressive fall colors you put this image together nicely.

The water alone is exceptional, I love the colors the abstract strips of color. The silhouette of the bird and branch is detailed and unfortunately is cut off at the bottom. But, it has great color.

Willie this is a lovely shot of this Heron on water, the glassy water is beautiful and the rich colors outstanding, and all this complimented by the reflection and silhouette of the heron perched on a branch. Great work.

Beautiful range of colours and light, along with a great silhouette. Presentation and composition are well suited to the contest. Well done and good luck in the contest. Bill

Hi Willie, the combination of the wonderful array of autumn hues and the graphic silhouette work a treat together. Exposure and focal plane setting are on the button. To improve I think it would have been good to include the reflection of the birds head in frame, other than that great work and good luck in the competition.

    Thank you so very much! The lower portion was cut at the time of the shot. I could maybe crop outside the frame and do some cloning???

Very nicely captured! I love the gold and orange colors that make the dark bird really stand out. The lake looks like colored glass. Great texture and over all awesome photo!!
