This is a true photographers dream. I try to do similar shots but they all fly away; and the ones that don't fly never stay in the same spot!

Great contrast, DOF, color and angle.

Great photo. Like the colors and the blurred background. Keeps my eyes on the subject. A lot of detail in the photo. Again, good work, keep it up.

very nice clarity of your POI for the 70/300 lens. Lighting, exposure, wb all in good balance. Background tells where he is w/o being too much of a distraction. Very nice of him to pose for you! Good luck in the contest.

Nice light, good focus and exposure. Not too sure about the square crop, but I am sure you must have had your reasons. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the competition.

You really caught the beauty of this bird. Focus seems to be more on the body than the head, though. The bokeh is good and allows the heron to be shown off at its best. I wonder if he caught his fish

    Thank you so very much! He tried twice and missed, after the second strike he went elsewhere!
