Great picture of this heron in flight. Image is sharp as is the background water. Colours good. Good luck in the contest.

I'm not sure about the square crop. a bit more space in front of the face would be nice?? Lovely colors and super clarity and timing. Nice work.

What a beautiful picture.
You've really captured the grace and majesty of these birds.
Herons nest in some rocks where I work and I have forever been trying to get a good shot of one in flight.
great job, thanks for sharing.

The blues in this are amazing and breath taking. The gracefulness is completely captured. I would have liked to see it centered just a bit more but other wise amazing!

A well captured image with natural colours.I like the full extension of neck,wings and legs. The detail in the feathers is excellent.the only change I would make is to crop half of the space above the bird to concentrate the eye more on the bird.This area is out of focus and doesn't add to the image.

Phot looks a little out of focus.Look at the eyes and face.
Your note don't explain any work being done.

Very nice composition and focus. Good timing for the capture like the expanse of wings. Lighting for picture is good also.
