A cute and fun shot, do not think the rain is bothering this heron at all. Like the composition, frame, focus and a rainy day exposure with nice reflected colors on the water. Good entry.

Nice picture but I believe it could have been cropped with the yellow reflection in the water. The heron has great color and very clear image .

Cracking shot, I love the balance of animal and humanity and enjoy that the heron takes focal primacy over the fishermen, an excellent metaphor.

    Thanks! You gave this four stars which mean "good with adjustments needed" What adjustments do you think it needs?

    Oops, I'm really sorry, I'm still getting used to this site. I hadn't realised the implication of giving 4 stars. I've just being looking at it again and can't think how it might have been improved. Sorry if I've implied otherwise.

    If you wish you can change the amount of stars. Open it up and simply change it and it will update it.

a little blur in the pic the yellow shines of the water gives this a good effect to the pic and the bird standing alone

Well how about this image what a fabulous take on the contest theme.

Love the connection with those guts fishing in that boat that connects with the heron doing the same thing.

Love the rainy weather and atmosphere, the heron on its own would make a great picture but putting them together takes this on another level, must be a contender for the contest.

Very surprised it didn't fly away with the boat so close. Great capture. Nice colors and I love seeing the raindrops on the water. Good luck in the contest.

They always seem to have a log or a branch or something to perch themselves on. I think it was worth you getting wet, this is a very good image. Nice reflections and good composition.

    Thank you so very much! They stand that way until they see a fish, then there is plenty of fast action.

Good shot of this great? blue. I like the fact that the fishermen are in the picture also, especially in the pop of yellow in a rain jacket. If he had not been there, I would have thot those were tiny leaves on the top of the water instead of raindrops hitting the water. Good reflections.

this is a funny photo. Two types of creatures fishing. I bet the bird gets one before the people. I like the yellow reflection.

    Thank you so very much! You are right! I have seen the bird catch fish when no one else is.
