Nice job.
The soft lighting really sets him apart from the deep blue water.
The focus is great, showing the feathers on his beak.
Catching the blink half way is pretty cool.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice picture Would like to have seen the whole blue heron. They are pretty creatures. Crisp, clear and wonderful adjustments you made. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent!.. Simple and clean. Nice composition with just enough of that head and neck to give the view a very pleasant close up. Nice eye light and a very clear presentation. I am guessing the focal range was near your 300mm?.. No matter a real beauty...dennis

I did not know all this - thanx much for the great lesson - and the image. Would a touch more crop off the top help (1/3 thing). Great clarity and detail in the heron. Thanx for sharing

Wow, great window shot. I like how the bird is framed by the blue water, it really make him stand out. Great clarity and lighting. I can see all the shading in his feathers. Good presentation.

What an super awesome picture

the bird has a sassy sophisticated look, nice I like, and the dark blue waters at the back ground brings him out

Colors 6+
sharpness 6+
Story telling great

This should be a 6+ rating

A very striking to the point portrait of this Great Blue Heron. The bold blue background make the Heron just almost appear in 3D.

This is a beautiful capture of a heron. I like the form created by the curvature of the neck. I like the contrast between the bird and the dark blue water. You did a wonderful job cropping the picture.
