A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that lovely young heron. Like its beak and pose. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

I think your title is spot on, that is the impression with this lonely guy ... great shot, nice perspective and placement. Natural colours, focus and light are good. Tones I wayer have come out well and I like the detail not only on the bird but the rock angle is very complimentary.

What a beatiful bird. The details are so lovely. The colors are so natural and this is framed perfectly. Love how it is on the log. Adds so much interest. Nice work

You have pictured this little green heron so well, and it is posing for you in such a lovely way. I also like how well you have brought out the fine textures in the wooden log. The bird is standing out from the background in an excellent way.

The photo is very sharp and it is clear and well defined details to be see in the feathers of the bird. The all over light is fine, but you have a slight over exposure along the bottom of the photo. Why not just crop it off ?

The cropping is working well, and the bird has got a fine placement off to the right. It is a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    What a great suggestion. Love you more. I did cut it off, but it seems that the modified image is not showing off yet. Maybe, later.

    Thank you so much.

What a gorgeous bird standing very alert on the rock. Colors are very natural and your focus on the eye is sharp. Excellent clarity of his plumage. Composition is well balanced.

Your capture is intriguing. I guess that the bird is hungry. The eager, observant pose of the youngster is interesting. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the realism of color and light and the sharpness of detail. The bird is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
