Good trade! Wonderful capture. Good focus and so is the color. The initial impact, lighting, storytelling and composition are all really nice. Good job.

Nice photo, excellent detail and focus, I can see every aspect of this heron, just beautiful, colors are very harmonious and well saturated, a lot of interest in the composition, an excellent job.

This is a fantastic picture of this beautiful heron. The detail you see in this is awesome. I like the way you composed this one. The lighting, focus and overall impression are all excellent. Just an exceptional picture. Good luck in the contest.

This is a nice shot. His foot is a little close to the edge of the frame at the bottom though? It would be nice if the background were thrown out of focus a bit more - this would be a 6. The focus is good, The composition is pretty nice too. The color is great and the detail in the feathers is fantastic! Really nice shot.

Comment from Mr Jones


you have to love these super fishing birds and also this great capture. they are very timid and prone to flying off if they spot you. other than this they are ideal models as they stand motionless, looking for their next meal. great exposure and clarity and he would make a fine painting.

What a beautiful picture. The focus on the bird is perfect and the colours are great! I like that the background is a bit blurred as it brings the eye back to the bird. Simply stunning!
