This is a nice capture of the heron with the nice fall colours in the water. The colours reflected really make this photo. I like that the heroin is not exactly in the center of the photo. Even a little more to the left would work well. The piece of wood breaking the surface on the right also provides a pleasant perspective. There is decent detail in the colouration and detail of the bird. Altogether a good capture and similar to one I would like to make myself. Decent composition with a nice eye to detail of the colours. I like it.

good focus and DOF, nice background colors, to bad you didn't get the whole bird's reflection I think it would of made for a stronger composition. thanks for sharing!

Comment from Robin L.


Gorgeous colors, love his cool blue against the warm leaves in the reflection. I am kicking myself because I saw a great blue heron on Saturday, but I didn't even notice him until I was looking through my shots of the geese AFTER I had left! Somehow he had slipped right by me! Great focus, and I like the composition and the choice to not include the entire reflection. I like the log in the frame, too.

Comment from Intrepid


It is really magical with the way the autumn colors reflect off the water. The heron is also very nicely presented and is the focal point of the picture. The focus is sharp. There is great composition.

Great job! Love the background color and contrast with the silvery gray of the heron. Love that you can see the log he is standing on peeking out of the water as well

Outstanding image. The best I've ever seen of a heron made possible by the impressive fall coloration reflected in the nearly still water. The crisp focus on the heron give the image a 3D appearance. Have absolutely no negative points for this image.

What beautiful colors, the background almost take all the focus - Then you got that heron as a big plus. I only wished you had all the reflection of the heron. That would have been 5+

Now that is amazing color, must say we don't get seasons to the same degree as you guys so have never seen fall colors like this. Beautiful photo, like the reflections (although you chopped the herons reflection). Nice clear focus.
