Very good shot - excellent lighting and the decision to make this a silhouette has paid off. You cannot mistake what kind of a bird he is. Nicely positioned in the frame and well composed.

Beautiful shot. That golden water is absolutely Beautiful! The colors are rich and lovely. Nice positioning of the subject - you captured a nice pose. But here, the background has really stolen the show :) Lovely work.

It is a nice moody silhouette, with truly nice warm tones. I like the calm feel, and I especially like the way you have the heron in the upper right, different and creative composition. Donkeyoatey

Nice shot!
This picture is really nice. I just love the fall colors hitting the water and how you captured this Heron in silhouette. Very beautiful and I could this picture hanging in a living room or in a office.
You got great colors and a perfect picture for this contest!
Awesome job yet again and good luck in the contest!

Wow, great initial impact with those glorious colors. The silouetted bird and the reflection is terrific. Nice focus, lighting and placement of the bird.

Magnificent lighting and colors in this beautiful image. Such exquisite light, and what a stunning presentation. It must have been quite a sight to see in person. I just love this - has such a peaceful, calm feel to it. A pleasure always to view your fine work!

This is indeed a striking image with all the golden reflections in the water. You have also captured the reflections of the bird sitting on a log in an excellent way.

The silhouette like bird is standing out sharp and well defined against this lovely background, and the light is just fantastic. The background here could easily have gone as an abstract as well.

This is a well taken shot of this lovely scene, and if I had been allowed to, I would given you more than 5 stars for this beauty. Good luck with the contest.
