The Grey Heron is always a lovely subject for your camera and you have once again managed to time it perfectly with the very small fish. Color is very natural and the reflection is nice.

They can just gulp down these little ones. When the get a large fish they often will have to take it up on shore and batter it for a while before they can swallow it.

You have pictured this lovely heron so well, and I especially like the fine reflection from it you have captured in the shiny water. The water plants offers a fine background, and the bird is standing out from it in an excellent way.
The photo is very sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in the feathers of the bird. The exposure is perfect.
The photo is also nicely cropped, and the bird has got a fine placement within the frame. It is a lovely and well taken photo Fred, and with an excellent DOF.

The heron is well photographed and perfectly placed within the frame.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones appear natural throughout the scene. The reflection underneath allows a double view , well defined detail over every part of the bird. I appreciate the clear eye. I can see the tiny fish in its bill! Well composed and presented!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the Grey Heron with it's catch before swallowing it. The droplets falling from it's beak frozen by your fast exposure. It's reflection along with the rushes growing on the bank are an added bonus. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

This is a superb capture. It shows a very lovely heron and all his details. I like your position and that the heron is paddling in Hunter style. Good natural colours. Nice presentation.
