I love the reflections in the water, the way they brush stroke down the photograph. A beautifully clear heron and rain drops in the water, with slightly blurry boat and fishermen in the back ground. A lovely photograph.

Thank you so very much! I have a think tank camera bag & with it I got a cover that goes over the camera and my head. It comes in handy if I have it with me.

Wow, I am surprised the heron did not fly away, it must be used to people fishing. I like the way the yellow is reflecting in the water from the raincoat. Good details of the profile of the heron and his colors are well shown.

Thank you so very much! This is a busy place for fishermen. The birds see them all the time. It may be why they allow me to watch them.

Excellent focus on the great blue heron. Nice story telling with the raindrops and the fisherman with the poncho's.
