This is one on the more magnificent shots of a Great Blue Heron in flight I have ever seen. The detail and terrific color is evidence of a fantastic focus and camera technique. I never realized they had the reddish color on their wings. Excellent framing and ability to follow him in flight for this shot.

Very impressed first of all that you were able to get the shot, that it's a fantastic shot to boot, is bonus! I know how easily these birds are to "miss" by a second or two, good eye, and also what a great showcase for colour. national geographic should have this one.

The initial impact is I like this one! I like the color harmony, the technique, cropping,sharpness and the fact that the Heron is in flight is great too! Thanks for sharing!

Very unusual and pretty bird. He looks very cool in flight. I love his colors, this heron is always pretty. The color of the water and land is also very nice. Sharp photo well done.
thanks, Levon7

Awesome shot. Very impressive clarity. You captured the Blue Heron in mid flight. Nice clarity and detail. Beautiful creature!

Looks like a Sange shot if I ever seen one. If it's not, it is a BIG, BIG, compliment. Great work I'm jealous. I just can't get a good capture of birds flying like this. Good luck, although there is no luck involved, just great techs.

Very nice capture! I love how he stands out against his background but at the same time blends in. Great lighting and color. Very nicely done!!

Great image! Beautiful separation between the crane and the background. Almost 3-d like! Great camera technique - detail of the crane is excellent. And great composition. The background is blurred enough not to offer distractions. And you caught the crane either gliding in or in mid flap.
