I've never seen a picture of a bird like this before.
It's pretty amazing.
the length of his legs, and the extension of his wings are very striking.
Great moment to catch.
good clarity and light.
very good placement in the backround.
nice colors, and good backround blur.

This is a nice capture, but maybe a little too dark. The composition is good, and the details are excellent. I really like this!

Boy! What a great action shotshot. Good composition. Good colors. Good storytelling photo. The title is perfect. I wonder how long you actually waited for the bird to give you this wonderful photo.

This is amazing the way you caught this heron like this. You had to be ready to get a picture like this. That is what you call being at the right place at the right time. I like the way you see his wings and then all the water coming off of him as he takes flight. An excellent picture.

I like this image.
The capture is great.
The colours are natural and I love the detail captured from the heron itself to the splash of water.
Great action image.

Thanks for the share.

Very cool! I wanna guess it's a blue heron but probably not. We have blue herons where I live. This is a very neat photo and you're so lucky to have captured it taking off.

Great picture of the bird flying, it is a great effort to get the bird in full flight. The leg of the bird splashing in the water almost is making a noise. Great colours, great action pic. Superb

Great shot! I like how you capture it taking off. I like the wing span here. I also like how well you capture the water as he took off. Good sharp focus, good color, and good lighting. Well Done!

What a funky looking bird! You really caught him in an uncomfortable position ;o)
Great pov and cropped just right for emphasis. Super sharp colors, focus, and clarity. The natural lighting worked well for you, and I really like the little splash at his left leg - like "take that, I'm outta here!"
Many thanks for capturing and sharing this fantastic shot!
