Hi Willie, This was definitely my favorite in the contest! Love the still green water the heron's pose and the super reflection. A beautiful shot with just the right lighting and wonderful clarity. Very deserving of a 6 star review! :o) Nancy

Nice shot and reflection! Nice ripples caught as well . I am seeing some noise in this shot so I'd like to see less noise.
Colors are natural
What is that disruptive object on the right? A rock maybe? Maybe erase that. Good luck in the contest.

The muted green of the water compliments his bluish gray plumage. The rock beside his long orange beak;and, the log that he straddles make for a lovely composition.
Cordially,
Joanna Bachman

Willie this is a superb nature image, not only is that heron in a perfect pose with its beak touching the water you also have those fabulous reflections doing the same thing so its all connecting, superb light and detail this should be on a front cover of a nature mag!

I thought I had reviewed this earlier. It is a wonderful shot and reflection of the heron. Good sharp focus on the bird and clear reflection. Nice environmental feel to the background. Well seen. Thank you for sharing.
