Great job with this one. I love how you have him standing there all tall and proud.
Color, focus and lighting are really good. Technically very good . Great initial impact. Really good detail on his feathers. I love his marking they are a little different. Beautiful presentation. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot- Focus is right on and the lighting even with it raining is good. Actually I think the rain has given you an interesting background.

Beautiful composition and framing of this picture. I love the birds head and the pride. Balance, exposure, point of view all very good. Well done.

I like this one a lot. willie. The details in his feathers make him stand out form the almost same colored background. I like the way the light is hitting just his face. Nice job, thanks for sharing

It's a cracking shot. Just as well you persevered. You've got good detail and a very sharp eye in the heron. It stands out well from the watery background too. Nice job!

This is a very good shot of a heron. Seems to be a very popular bird. It is so many photos posted of that bird. However, this is very crisp and clear, and the use of light is good. In your effort to sharpen it you left the background a bit grainy. It is a nice composition and well balanced.

Boy! What some people will do for the picture! I'm glad yu did, as this is a great picture, wonderfully captured, one in a million, with the raindrops all around, and his feathers plastered down.

Excellent job, Willie! I hope we will see more of this fellow!

    Thank you so much! I have taken hundreds of this guy and his buddies. I have some where he is catching fish and jumping and flying. If you look in my potfolio you can see some more. I will be posting more in time. I don't want folks to get tired of the same old stuff!
