The image is clear, and well focus. The reflection is nice and sharp. The exposure, and lighting looks good. Nice balance of the composition.

Apparently, the bird is searching for food. Its alert pose is intriguing. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. Thee reflection is especially interesting. The bird is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

It is very obvious that this bird is hunting for fish, and you have captured its posing so well. I especially like the leaves floating in the water, and also how well you have captured the reflection from the bird.

The bird is standing out sharp and well defined against the background, and it is clear details to be seen. The exposure is perfect.

The photo is nicely cropped, and the bird has got a fine placement within the frame. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Fred, and with an excellent DOF.

One can feel its alertness to catch his victim. The reflection makes the pic pop out. The light,colour and composition have worked well. Good effort!

This is very neat. Your composition is great with the bird and its reflection. Although I think that the leaves in the water are very cool, they are distracting to the viewer and draw focus away from the bird. Great job!

What an eye catching photograph. This is not the typical bird photograph found on FAR. The reflections are fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the Grey Heron standing in the lake eyes peeled as it searches for it's next meal. The bare trees & the Heron's reflection on the the lake's glassy surface scattered with fallen leaves is an added bonus.
Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from Artistsushma


Fantastic capture....the heron appears to be hungry and looking for his lunch earnestly....composition is excellent..I feel the reflection is looking better than the bird itself...the floating leaves in the water add appeal to the photo....thanks for sharing

A good looking image posted here! Your fine and classical composition grants us an enjoyable view of your fishing heron. Like its neck and reflection. Exposure and sharpness are OK. Nicely done!
