Comment from Monica Morrell
This is an excellent captured shot of this beautiful Grey Heron.
I love how he shows so well among the autumn colored leaves. The blue water and his reflection adds excellent accent of color.
Wonderfully captured image!

Comment from michiganmike
A beautiful scene that is deftly captured. The heron is nicely placed and well defined but seems almost secondary to the leaves and the reflections. A superb portrayal of the season.

Comment from liseworks
Very nice colours here, love the green leaves among all the fallen ones, still hanging on, the heron is so well focused that we see it first, lots of room for him to move forward, he seems to know you are there but is not disturbed by it, well taken

This is a wonderful shot of grey heron amidst autumn colours.. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful picture of this Grey Heron standing in the shallows on which the trees in their leaves beautiful in their autumn colours are reflected on the water's surface, while on the back is a carpet of coloured autumn leaves. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Great picture of this grey Heron. I think it shows very well with the off center presentation, showing the autumn colors and enhancing his almost blue/grey color. Very nice.

Comment from nikman
Quite an enjoyable autumnal scene presented here! Your fine and classical composition grants us a good look at your heron and it's location. I would be surprised if there were fish so close to the edge. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done

many thanks again; all small fish are closer to the edge where they feel safer and can find some food..
