'In Flight.' This is a very nice piece of work which I enjoyed very much. It has color and contrast plus background and depth. Very well done.

Good composition however it is cropped a little to close for my liking. I wish it had more room to the right and bottom of the frame. I also would like it to be sharper with more detail. Good POV and DOF. Nice contrast and color. Thank you for sharing

Great action capture, Willie. Excellent focus on the heron. Great colours. Love those beautiful outstretched wings. Might have liked to have seen a bit more space beneath him, but I know it's not easy to get the perfect position in an action shot like this. Great work. Taylor

Another good shot Willie. I like the rich colour in the water. The composition is good apart from it being low in the frame but I don't suppose you had much choice. On the rare occasions that I get to see a Heron they are too skittish to get anywhere as close as this. Mitch

Another great capture, Willie style. I have to ask, were you sitting in your car at the time you snapped this.

Great action image and a nice little story to boot, good work all around.

    Thank you so very much! No I was standing on the bank for this one but I spend 90% of the time shooting from the car.

This is such a beautiful bird! You've captured it perfectly in flight. I love the colors of the bird as well, a pretty blue. Beautiful photo!

Stunning detail in the heron. Beautiful range of colours. The blue colour and ripples in the water have made a perfect background that enhances the heron. Excellent timing and camera work.

What an extraordinary capture of this elegant and graceful bird. Excellence in all respects. Well composed, and can just feel the beautiful silent glide across the frame. Nicely composed, and a very special pleasure to view! Impressive shot!

Nice capture! It's hard for me to get good birds in flight. Very good contrast, saturation, and the wing feathers are displayed very nicely. Congrats!
