Bravo Willie and from the car, amazing. Good color saturation, the colors are vibrant and natural with awesome detail. I do like the remnants of feathers on the bill, which reminds me, I have to clean my dryer lint trap. Well presented my friend.

WOW. Well spotted and well taken. If the focus had been wrong you would not see that second eye lid sweeping across and the time it takes for that to happen is so small. Beautiful

Great shot Willie. I love your photo essays on this beautiful bird. It is wondrous that you managed to catch the eye as you did.
Keep the shots coming.

This looks like a close up picture of a photo that I already commented. It is so pretty the blue in the background is so still and so tranquil. I also really like the contentment of the bird.. great work

A rare 5 from me Willie. This is an excellent portrait of a Heron. Nice natural colouring with fine detail in the subject. The wink is a great bonus. Mitch

This is quite a unique and fantastic shot! Don't think we often see a Great Blue this close up and the details and clarity are amazing. Didn't know about the eyelids- thanks for sharing that information. Great capture.

Nice clean shot. Beautiful color and lighting. Would love to have seen more of the curve in his neck. Over all a very good shot.
