That lens you have used is very very good. This image is sharp and its well composed and placed nicely in the frame. Excellent impact due to the lighting on his wing an d neck. Nice one!

Very nice capture of this magnificent bird. Did you get a shot of him eating the fish? Or catching the fish. Right place, right time right equipment.

A very lovely capture. I am amazed that you were able to get close enough to take a photo like this. I have tried on many occasions to get a close photo of them with a 300mm lens but I have been unsuccessful so far. The detail in the bird is nice. The DOF is also nice but could be even better if the POV were changed a bit. The composition is sweet.

My only suggestion for potential improvement is in the colors/tones of the water. It just seems the white balance is too cool and should be warmed up a bit.

Definitely in the right place at the right time. Great shot.
I like how you put the heron forefront in the picture, the wing formation is wonderful, nice coloring in the water. Good job.

Talking about being at the right place and waiting for the right time. I love the spread of his wings. Good composition, focus, detail and doff. Good artist notes. Well done. Sam

Wonderful stop action on this flying Heron Willie, terrific detail and textures, sharp focus, exposure, dof and framing. Patience sure pays off!;)
