Patience pays off. This is a very good shot with a lot of action. You got it just at the right moment. The running bird is very sharp and it is possible to see a lot of good details. The ice on the water is a perfect background. Use of light is excellent and colors are lovely. The wing span is beautiful, and you can almost count the feathers. Lovely composition wit good balance. Good luck with the contest.

Love how you caught him in mid run. Not easy to get such clear focus like that but you did. Is this a great blue heron? Looks like it.
Thank you for sharing.

A very exciting action shot and I bet you really enjoyed catching this! Nice light and detail. You framed him nicely in the crop and I feel the cold of the day in all the frosty blue tones. He really does look like he is about to pounce on his next meal. His body language says he is all business.

This is a really cool image. THe image by itself tells an excellent action packed story that would put Schwarzenegger to shame! Great job on this!

Very good action capture!! Great color in the wings and good stop action! Nice lightning on the head.
One thing when it is cold there are not any other people out wondering what you are doing.

    Thank you so very much! I had people stop and ask me what I was doing! I told them and some laughed and some was puzzled, they thought I was crazy being out in the cold for that! I did not and do not care what they thought, this was worth it for me!
