I reviewed this last night but I was too sleepy to send it so here I go again! ;-)

Well, this is a well timed still motion shot with a painterly feel backdrop.
Pin sharp focusing and subdued lighting.
Tall format framing captured the image greatly.

Best of luck in the comp!

Perfect reflection of one of my favorites,the Great Blue Heron. The mottled,shimmering reflections of shore trees,around him,in browns and greens,show him off,with distinction.
Cordially,

Willie,
A stunning picture of this Great Blue Heron striding slowly into the water eyes peeled looking out for fish swimming below with it's perfect reflection seen in the foreground. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Beautiful capture, the great blue heron is in a wonderful pose, allowing a nice look at his side profile, this is of course, well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural. Nice detail in feathers, face and bill, good eye contact, beautiful red reflections and a mirror image of this beautiful bird! Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!

A great shot for this contest. The composition is excellent and the colors are beautiful. I like the detail in the heron's face and the fantastic reflection that should serve you well in this contest.

Love this. This picture is so perfect. The water is so still that it looks like a mirror! So awesome that you were at the right place at the right time to capture this shot!

Wow the pink reflection in the water is beautiful with the green. It looks as if this bird is walking on a mirror. Beautifully reflected and a wonderful capture.
