A beautiful picture of this great blue Heron standing in among the reeds it's reflection seen on the ripples under it's body. In the background I see gold coloured water Lilies. Beautiful composition framing & soft natural lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Quite a nice nature shot posted here! Your fine traditional composition offers us a good look at your heron and it's location. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

an excellent composition lori with the blue heron and his reflection in front of the grass patch; excellent capture of the eye: nice natural colors with pin sharp focus;

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Excellent choice of subject with sharply focused fine features & textures.
Great framing with rippled reflections nicely captured.
I'd consider cropping half of the marginal negative space above to give more focal attention on this gorgeous avian stunner.
Well, that's just a friendly suggestion...

Gorgeous illumination...
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

A very nice looking heron in its natural habitat. The profile is attractive and the reflection on the water is excellent. I like the natural looking colors and the fine composition.

Thanks so much Mike for the very nice review! My husband and kids bought me a new computer for Christmas... I never knew how over saturated a lot of my pictures were...they looked right on my laptop but when I put them on this screen it shows the true colors so much better=) Have a great weekend=) Lori

Comment from Sange
Your BEST SHOT of a Great Blue so far Lori!
EXCELLENT eye clarity, sharp focus, great reflection and fine POV of him wading in the water.
Nice work :)
