Amazing. Wonderful shot. Great capture just at the right moment of him enjoying his dinner. The colors and details are awesome. Worth more than 5, but it's all I got. Great presentation, thanks for sharing.

Patience is a virtue.
Great capture.
Good detail and color.
The story is told no doubt.
Since I live by the water this is a familiar sight.
Love the reflections and feeling of tranquility.
Good work.
Jorge.

Initial Impact: Now that is a beak full. Lighting: very even lighting. And the catch of the day is? presentation. Color harmony: good. Center of interest: Big bird with big fish. Cropping: is good.
Focus: good. Action require: None. Story telling is in the Title and Artist's notes.
Comments: Worth the discomfort of the hunt. Good shot.

    Thank you so very much! He was out on a frozen lake, a good way out, I have cropped all I can without loosing detail.

Wow, Willie, what an awesome shot. This is beautiful. The focus is great, the composition is great. What a great day's work to catch this guy as he caught his dinner. Wish I had a six to give you for this. Great shot. Thanks for sharing.

Great photo! I must agree there is nothing like watching a heron walk through the water to catch a fish. They don't even cause a ripple in the water. This is a very rare opportunity to actually see them catch such a large fish. Great Color! Great Clarity! Great Impact! Great Job! Thanks for Sharing!
