Tri colored Heron hunting for fish

A beautiful stop action picture of this Tricoloured Heron taking off from the water the sun on it's back so it casts a shadow on the water as it flies over making it easier to see potential prey swimming below. Beautiful composition framing and lighting that highlights it beautiful skate grey plumage with pale cinnamon & near white plumes on it's neck & back. Taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

I like your timing here and how it makes the heron look like he is about to tip right over, lol! It's a nice action capture and the wing feathers and colors look very nice.

Bird looks sharp but I think the position and lighting could be a little better. The light is a bit harsh...midday or close to it? I think the image would be greatly enhanced if the bird was out of the water all the way and you could see both legs and wings in flight. Crop is great. Good image.

    Thank you jersey. But this is a take off shot and not a bird in flight contest. I appreciate your review.

    Sorry didn't notice the contest, entry is just perfect then! Couldn't get any closer to taking off than this!

A nicely timed shot. I like this cropping and the beautiful colors. The heron is shown in fine detail and I like his shadow on the water. Best of luck in the contest.
