You must have seen this bird in flight beneath you, and I really like your vantage point. The stop action is perfect, and the light is falling so lovely on the bird. The white glare in the background water is a bit distracting, but the bird is standing out from it in an excellent way.

The photo is sharp and it is clear and well defined details to be seen in the feathers of the bird. The exposure is fine.

The cropping is well done, and the bird has got a fine placement off to the right. A lovely and well taken photo Fred, and with a very good DOF.

The bird is definitely showing its beauty and great length.
Interesting and unusual angle to take this photograph with great focus and details.
The photograph is nicely framed with complementary background.

An interesting shot. It is not too often you get to shoot a flying bird from above. A well composed image with nice colors and fine detail in the flight feathers.

Fantastic action photograph of this grey heron. This heron looks like he was concentrating on what was ahead. Focus and lighting well done. Sharp detail. Nicely composed. Well done.

Fred,
A beautiful stop action picture of the grey heron in flight over the lake on which the sky & the trees around the lake are reflected. Beautiful stop action composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition captures an enjoyable in flight moment. Like the wing display. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

This Heron in flight is a rare moment where your able to capture it forever..awsome job..I like the reflection of the trees in the water total surrounding the heron..normally when an object is moving it tends to come out blurry in a photo but your skill wouldn't and didn't let that happen..it's truly an amazing piece and I'm honored to see this
