What a beautiful shot of an amazing bird. Great close up with perfect lighting and wonderful detail. He looks determined. Love the colors and the background adds depth and contrast. I like how it's darker at the top.

Excellent capture as per usual. Great composition and story line to go with it. Love the way you caught it with its neck coiled this way, and that beady eye watching every step you took. Thanks for sharing it.

Oh, isn't he a handsome guy? This is a beautiful capture. I can easily see it converted into a painting. Love the blues and grays especially.

Great shot! Wonderful natural sunlight that shows all of the detail in his face! Great colors & saturation on the bird! B/g is perfect for making the bird POP out of the photo! Thanks for sharing!

They are hard to get this clue to, am glad you could. The detail is wonderful, wish the light would have a little brighter on his face, but it works well as it is. Beautiful shot. Thanks for sharing.

Whish I could give you more than 5...
An other of your great bird shots and this one stands out, because you are so close. Thanks for the artist's notes. Great colors and lighting and the beak really looks like a spear. His sharp eye is outstanding in detail

This is a wonderful composition. I like how the bird is placed in the frame. The focus and contrast are good too. His eye is very beautiful.

Comments: You have captured one of my very most favorite subjects. I love to photograph the Great Blue. You have a picture that really matches your title. Very nicely composed. Great crisp detail. You have done well in capturing the Great Blue Heron. Thank you for providing the great set of artist notes that have both camera information and camera settings. In addition you have provided a very good narrative on how you captured the picture. Thanks for sharing.
