Beautiful shot. Love the reflection of him and the fall foliage over the water's surface. Sharp focus. Pretty colors. Well composed. These guys are pretty shy. I can't believe he is your buddy. That is great. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning! The reflection is wonderful (did you capture a full reflection?). The blue's are very nice. Heron (?) pops out against the burnt orange and green-brown hues of the water. I like how the lighting illuminates the head. Very nice capture.

Wow very nice shot here Willie. Nice patience and shooting under the conditions. I love how blurred the reflections in the water look and the mirror of the bird in the water is so clear. The only change I might have tried would have been to back up the shot slightly to catch the whole birds reflection.

    Thank you so very much! I did have one with all the reflection but it was not as good!

Willie wows us again, holy smokes, is there any limit to your ability? Framing great, reflection ultra cool, subject cool, everything is cool. You know, because I have awarded you a 5+ rating before I am prohibited to issue another. Defiantly a 6 star, in my book.

This is a great close up of the beautiful heron on the log. I like the angle you caught for this with the clear reflections. Lovely colours in the water too. Lighting and focus excellent. Very good composition.

WOW - an other masterpiece of the master...
Those colors of the heron are just beautiful (I don't have an other word), the colors of the water let him pop out - who says you need sun for taking pics? The reflection is priceless.
THANK YOU
I wish I'd had more stars

This is a truly beautiful shot of a heron. I love the stillness of the water and the reflection is great. This deserves a 5 1/2...wish I had one for you!

Ah.. The beautiful blue herring. The way he reflects in the water and the fall trees that reflect around him. This is a wonderful picture. Thanks for sharing.
