What a great photo and really great shot of the wingspread and beautiful feathers. Like your title and the artist notes. Beautiful colors and tones of the heron and him catching a fish is great. Nicely done.

This is a very nice moment that you captured very well. The wings, the stretch of the body, the touch of the water all create excitement. The colors are beautiful with the great green reflections. Great focus, and great detail.

Willie, this is magnificent! Amazing stop action, and the detail and focus is great.

I'm drawn to the reflection on the water and the "splash" and water droplets.

Great picture!

Another really great shot Willie. The stop action is fantastic in this shot, and the bird is indeed showing off its lovely feathers. Great bonus wit the fish in the beak.

I am going to make this a short review, because it is not a thing you need to change in this photo. Everything is working really well. This is just all together a really excellent shot.

That had to be a difficult capture. Well focused. Like the ring of water moving outward. Fine detail on the bird as well.

    Thank you so very much! Waiting was the hard part and keeping my eye on him as he moves as fast as lightning going after fish.

Great capture. Focus is crisp and shows great detail. Colour, light and timing are good as is the presentation and composition. Well done Bill
