I like these birds too, They have such pretty colors that you captured well. The ripples on the water are attractive with nice reflection colors.

Excellent choice of an avian subject...
Fantabulous rippled reflection, if I may call it!

Nice placement in the frame.
Pin sharp focusing.
Subtle lighting...

Gorgeous plumage!

A beautiful bird and a great composition. I like the glitter on the water and the way the waves distort the reflection. Sharp detail and beautiful colors. Best of luck in the voting.

What a stunning wildlife shot and what makes this one different is those fabulous looking ripples over the waters surface, this reall does the job and makes that abstract cinection, the heron itself in a way becomes secondary but with the detail thrown in! A terrific contest entry!
