The detail of the feathers is perfection. I also think you nailed the composition. Great story telling as well. Thank you for sharing.

Very pleasing image to see and excellent capture. Very nice color, great focus and DOF. I might have removed the people in the bg. But I do like the BG being out of focus. Good texture, nice technique and a very nice image showing his concentration. TY

I've taken a lot of shots of Great Blue herons and seen a lot of shots of Great Blue Herons by other photographers, but this beats them all! I love how you brought out the beautiful colors in this bird. Your lighting and focus is sensational. If I had a six it would be yours.

Fantastic JOb!
GOOD LUCK in the Contest! :o)

well done, great lighting angle and great focus for detail, The dof could be a bit less to blur even more of that background rocks. All else is super , well done

Comment from canon shooter


What a great job! Wonderful color, lighting and detail. Very good cropping and presentation! Good story telling on what he is doing. Did he finally get a fish?

    Thank you so very much! He tried two times (which I have shots of) but got no fish. Directly behind him is a road. Across the road is another lake. After failing ehe second time he walked to the other lake and finaly flew away! I still see this guy I have tried to get other shots but none this close!
