Nice one Willie and you sure captured a rare moment with the middle of a blink! The focus is pin sharp and the colors are true to nature! The blue water acts as a perfect contrast drawing the eye to the beautiful heron! Fortunate for you he stayed put! Lovely close up!

A really great shot of this beautiful bird. Really nice clarity and the deep blue of the water in the background sets it off so well.

Nice presentation of your heron's portrait, it is really made dramatic by the deep vivid blue background. Donkeyoatey

What a very good profile of this magnificent bird. The water sure makes it stand out very nicely. It is amazing that you got the blink.

Exceptional capture, Willie. Really like the clarity throughout. Wonderful eye detail, too. What a treat seeing half inner and half outer eyelid. (Reminiscent of the Tiger Eye stone in color, hues, and markings, except pupil of course). Wonderful head/neck pose within frame. And a Great Blue, too! Wonderful. And he does indeed have down on his spear-shaped bill tip. Excellent colors; nice cropping. Could have left a little more to right, but still great the way it is.

A very nice side on capture set against good blue water. Like the curving neck leading to the head and impressive beak. Your photo is very sharp and the exposure is excellent providing us with really good detail to enjoy. Very good shot, well done!

This blue heron appears to regal with this capture. Love, love, love that turquoise water in the background and its sharp definition.

The focus is just fabulous in this one, Willie! Such great detail in the eye and bill. The light is also very nice and places the highlight right on the bird's face.

Comment from Derek Redfern


Nice catch - I like that I can see the length of the bill in contrast to its head, never realised how long they were. I also like that you've left the kink in its neck in the shot, although there's maybe a little too much blue above its head for me (very personal view). Great focus, colour and composition - simple but effective. Thanks for sharing it.
