Comment from Daphne Oberon
Great character photo of this blue heron perched on an unusual vantage point. Also, I don't suppose this occurred to him, but the grayish green tree provides a bit of camouflage....

A beautiful picture of the Heron captured here and I love the composition and its structure with the Heron slightly up and off centre,this allows the height of the trees where the bird is nicely perched.The sharpness of your focusing has been well presented too

I don't often see them in trees except when they are nesting. A well focused shot with excellent detail in the heron and great colors in the pine tree.

This is a pretty cool shot of a
fishing Grey Heron.
The color of the pine seems to serve as a good camouflage for the Grey Heron. Exceptional focus and framing. I enjoy the three different types of
foliage. Well done man!

"im ontop of the world ma!!" couldnt resist. lol. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this bird up in the tree is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this juvenile Grey Heron looking down from lakeside Pine for any movement in the water that might indicate food on the move. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Quite a nice looking nature shot posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of your handsome heron and its location. Wonder if it caught any fish? Well taken!

Not sure if it is the upload Fred but this image appears very grainy and dark. On looking at the larger image I can see that it is well focused and the pose captured is a good one.

A bird's eye view indeed! What sharp eye sights these birds have been bestowed with. The image is sharp and well focussed. You have framed it well. Overall an impressive post!
