Hey Fred, you have a nice clear well focused image here that offers an abundance of symmetry with the use of reflection. The ripples in the water offer a nice texture or compositional element. I like it. Kathy

WOW, that is amazing detail and focus work, and yes it does look like a mirror reflection. Great placement of subject too. Really nice, I like this one.

A common bird found in so many locations. Good one, like the reflection, focus and frame with reflected greens on the water too.

Nice classic shot. Super sharp detail--a necessity with this sort of pic--great colors and, of course the reflection means a great catch. Very nice. JR.

WOW once again the mirror image is fabulous. Love the rippling water and colours. The bird is sharply focused and overall good composition.

Cheers Mary

Fred,
A beautiful three D picture of the Grey Heron is perfect reflection along with the surrounding trees on the bank seen in the softly ripples waters that it's standing in. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting that is hi lighting it's head, neck & back.. Superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from Capture This
Beautiful, and as I have failed the other day in posting my pic of a white Egret with a black duck cutting off it's water reflection. The scene would have been sort of comical but I just couldn't get the lighting right so I didn't post. This looks perfect in every way!!

Nice shot of this heron,like the reflection in this,good crop and nice subdued colour,not quite as good as Sanges work in this field,but then that's such a high standard,it would not be as good,but still a nice shot..brian
