Lovely composition. Particularly like the Autumn colours as a background.The piece of wood or stone also adds to the composition. Good luck in the contest.

Willie,

What a great job you did in capturing your photo "Colors of fall" which is simply remarakable and beautiful. The first time I saw it on FAR's homepage being promoted... I thought wow, this photo really looks more like a painting than a photo which still ceases to amaze me when it comes to photography and naturally love.

Terrific multiple red, orange and yellow foliage which reflects pretty in the water. Nice blurred background along with a nice soft focus. A fine catch here with artist notes. Great job.

And "Good Luck" with the colors are everywhere contest!-)

Gorgeous capture, Willie. The copper colours in the background are beautiful and contrast nicely with the greys of the Heron. Excellent focust and depth of field. Lovely composition. Taylor

THIS IS A VERY PRETTY PICTURE, Willie. IT LOOK VERY PROFESSIONALLY TAKEN, LIKE A PICTURE IN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. THE WATER AS A BACKGROUND GIVES GREAT CONTRAS TO THE SUBJECT.

This is a beautiful shot. The reflections merge into the background but still manages to form separation. The heron is focused and frozen as though he is in a natural frozen state hunting for prey.
His next meal may or maynot be behind the wood?

You were definately right with your timing, the shadowing on the still water and the depth of field of the heron and log in the frame of the image make this so appealling. Well done.

very nice back ground color. is this the original color of the background? the blue heron is awesome and really adds a lot of quality and interest to the photographic scene. the heron is noble in appearance with a natural sense of beauty. very nice photograph

    Thank you so very much! Yes! It was a very colorful fall, with the still water and bright colors reflecting is what you see.
Comment from Brian B


Good title and artist notes and the viewer can see from the photo that this fella is searching for food. Good natural position of the bird and well detailed image. Love the beautiful fall colors shown in the water. Nice presentation.
