Great capture through your car window of the heron. I like the light you caught here and the angle you got. Lighting and focus very good showing great detail in his markings. The blue water makes a perfect frame.

This is a great capture of the herons head. I like his eye. Good composition, focus, detail and dof. Good artist notes. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.

I would say you got what you deserved. What a neck on this guy. Very sharp focus. I like the way his eye is looking out over that long beak. Wonderful color! This is a very eye pleasing photograph. Very well done. I wish you the very best luck with the contest.

A nice heron portrait, and a vivid standout against the blue. I like the detail in his eye and the warmth of the light on his feathers. Donkeyoatey

Great focus and lighting really show wonderful details of this beautiful fellow. That beak looks like it would be a great weapon.

The eye is the window to the soul and you captured this one very well. Nice focus and detail. You don't always need the whole bird

Great shot! Good detail and its nice to see the texture on the feathers. The only thing I would like to see is a shot of the whole bird.
