The bird is beautiful and your focus is great on the bird. I believe a bit more crop would be in order off the right but still leave it in thirds . Just in my estimation would give a better presentatiom. Good work Az

Great colors and details. Lighting and DoF are very good. Creativity and center of interest are very beautiful. I like the way you caught him walking. This is a beautiful shot of a very beautiful bird. Eileen

    Thank you so very much! You are the second one that mentioned the orange! That is the sunset reflecting off the water behind the trees! I guess I need to fix it!

Excellent capture. I like that he is looking into the frame. Great clarity. And the colors are all so beautiful.

Another great shot of a heron. It must be a lot of them around the place where you live. I like how the heron is posing for you, and I think he for sure he was checking you out.

Again a pin sharp photo showing such fine details in the bird, but I wonder if your photo is just a tad on the dark side. The colors are definitely nice and natural.

The placement of the heron within the frame works well together with a neat cropping. Another excellent shot Willie.

    Thank you so very much! There is a lot of them here. Most are not tame but a few will tolerate me!

One of the best shots of a heron I've seen on this site - the bird is so sharp and the details are so clear - and the saturation and colors are amazing, very well done!! Many thanks for sharing!!

    Thank you so very much! Look at the book collection I have on herons. There is some better than this!

    Ok, many thanks...we get them here in Costa Rica, but they are hard to photograph because they are not used to humans too much.

Very pretty heron here. Birds are always so hard to capture. You have made it look easy. Great colors, details and positioned well in the frame. He looks to be very curious. So you have captured "personality" also. Great job and thanks for sharing. Blessings, Keri

He's a beauty you did well to capute him, lovely colour of plumage and head. Seems to be oblivious of everything other than going for a walk. Great work.
