See, the birds now think that you are their Daddy! Stunning shot. Can't believe how much you spot from the car. Beautiful shot

    thank you so very much! I drive slow, like less than 5mph.

You did exactly as I would have done. Shoot and move until he flies. You ended up with a very nice image. I might have been tempted to add a dash of sharpness in an attempt to make the image pop a bit more. But that's just me. Well done.

You did well, good when they co-operate to a degree. Great framing of the shot and focus. Not sure on the black edge on top find it a little distracting, maybe try a darker blue to get the contrast :)

Wonderful shot.
The focus and sharpness are amazing.
His eye is full of storytelling.
The s curve of his neck carries you through the shot nicely.
Thanks for sharing

excellent close-up
great catch!
like seeing his long curved up
neck, and long beak and beady eye
great clarity and color
like how the light shines brighter on different parts of his neck
like the backround which is so harmonious with his colors

This is just a stunning picture the way you took it. The way you got this so close up is great. I like all the detail you see in this wonderful picture. I like the way the background looks too. I like the way the sun shines on the heron. I like the way he has his neck all tucked up to his body. Just a beautiful and excellent picture.
