Comment from Reuven Azachi


The great Blue Heron looks awesome against the reflective water surface underneath. The blurring of the bird's background against its sharp image, magnifies its presence and flight above. The ghost reflection of trees, the light and dark effect of the water adds depth and perspective to this composition. I would remove the disruptive presence of the sticking part of a plant at the very left lower corner of the photograph. One must command the photographer for his skill to freeze a split of a second wing action into eternity. What a beautiful composition. It could not look any better. Unfcrtunately I ran out of 6s.

Nice capture. I like the way you have him flying 'into' the frame instead of out of it. Great contrast, good color, and outstanding focus

Such a cool shot Willie. Gotta love nailing them when they are in flight. Your composition is very lovely.

You have captured this Blue Heron in very beautiful movement and form. Your patience has truly paid off.
This shot has good clarity, color, and composition, which includes an appealing reflection and space on the right to give direction to his flight. Setting sun lighting worked very well for you in putting just enough highlight on his head for a wonderful point of emphasis.
Many thanks for sharing this impressive shot!

As always, your photo is very enjoyable to view Willie. The morning light has done justices to the colors of the magnificent bird. Great capture of the wings! You have placed the bird perfectly in the frame, the eye is pulled straight to him. Great shot Willie! Best of luck with the contest.

    Your welcome Willie.

Excellent shot, great focus on movement, framing and use of thirds spot on. The darkness adds to the mood as it is about to to take flight...great natural lighting and colors are perfect for the atmosphere, and it does create a mood or feeling, which is what makes a great artist!
