Great action shot, and well framed. The focus is very slightly soft, but the wing positions, the splash and the reflective water are super. Well captured!

Lovely photo with a wonderful pose on the bird. He looks quite graceful, like Fred Astaire, light on his feet! And the way he kicks up a little water is a great touch.
A few suggestions: There is a lot of noise in the bg. I would run it through a de-noise programs like Topaz'. I think it's a little dark and would brighten it. The focus is a bit soft, although at a distance that isn't as noticeable. Paula

    Thank you so very much! He was flying strait towards me so the focus was a little hard to control. This was a very fast scene! Also the sun caused bad shaddows. I posted it mainly because of his wings. Thanks for the advise!

I am a big fan of pictures of Great Blue Herons, I take alot of them myself and I think this is an amazing shot, timing of this was perfect and the clarity and sharpness are beautiful. Great job.

another of your very well captured birds willie with superb focus colouring detail depth & good initial impact-i love the poise & shape that the bird is caught with at this point & the splash on the water adds movement & realism too, great work!
