Wllie working his wonders here today on FAR. Great overall tone in this post my friend, you always provide huge extreme detail to all of your work. I remember seeing that piece of wood before in another image, I like it and adds dimension to your images, well done my friend.

This is absolutely beautiful! I love the color and tones. The background wonderfully accentuates the Heron. You framed this perfectly. Great photo.

Gorgeous!
I love the deep golden tones in the water --really screams autumn. Great focus and clarity. The heron stands out clearly from the background. Very pretty lighting.

Quite a stunning nature study, with the vibrant warmth of the background setting off and detailing the heron and the log. I see a lot of bird shots, and that's one in a million. Amazing work!

this is another wow. love the use of dof to blur the reflection if the leaves on the water. it also helps to frame and set off the Heron. this is nice

Crystal clear focus. I love the warm amber tone. The rule of thirds could have been utilized,but;that being said, it still is a very high quality image ! Great Job!!
