This is one of the best Heron photos I've seen. Great action and pose. I think the whites are blown out a little and would darken it to add the detain in the highlights. Or, lower the contrast a little. Difficult tonal range and lighting problem but still a great photograph. Thanks for sharing.

Great capture - he really doesn't look very happy! His pose allows us to see more detail of his plumage which makes a much more interesting shot. Lovely texture to the water and great reflection of his legs.

I bet the Heron was just as entertained watching you. The stretch of his neck makes this very eye catching.You greatly captured a strong image with this prideful pose. The lighting makes the birds feathers show a purpose to give him a strong larger then life stance. I think that is what makes this so neat.

Great job, willie. The coloring of the heron makes him stand out against the ice. I like that you kept the reflection in the water. Good capture of that eye. Nicely done, thanks for sharing

Great looking shot. Fine example of bird photography. Your timing a­ppears to be perfect and you seem to be mastering the art of photographing birds.
Well done!

Excellent shot Willie. Perfect closeup capture. Very good detail. Lightings just perfect. Great stance and action shot. Focus is very good. Rule of thirds certainly evident. Great capture

I knew there was a reason I was holding onto my last SIX Star rating and this is it! FANTASTIC capture and image. The colors and clarity are amazing. The framing is perfection and he is an excellent focal point. Pro stuff here. Love it!
