Awesome shot! We only have blue herons where we live, so I've never seen a grey one. I like all the texture going on in your photo. The composition and clarity are good, too. Best of luck with the contest!

As usual, you do fantastic in photographing all subjects, especially wildlife and animals. What beautiful feathers your photography brings out in the grey heron. Great job. All the feathers are what's the most beautiful about the heron.

This maneuvre is one I think of as "the shakeout"
It is well captured in this fine shot. I like the detail in his plumage and the beautiful composition.

Love this shot! Great details captured on this guys plumage! He is well placed in the frame, the composition is very pleasing to the eye and displays this guy's details and environment well. His face is well in focus, he seems keenly alert and aware. The exposure is nicely balanced showing off the colours well. Thanks for sharing

This heron is indeed posing for you in a lovely way Fred, and I really like the way it ruffles the feathers. The light is falling on the bird in such a lovely way, and I also like very much the background. The bird is standing out from it in an excellent way.

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

The photo is also nicely cropped and the bird has got a fine placement off to the left. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

This is interesting seeing the heron ruffle it's feathers. Perhaps they are trying to trap in the body temperature to stay cool? It makes for an exciting different view. Nice focus and placement. The clarity is good as is the technique. Appreciate the natural surroundings.
Fun viewing.

Great details. This heron has the look of "yep look at me. looks good". I never saw a heron like this. The ones I have seen had the feather plastered down. He must be airing them out.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the Grey Heron with ruffled plumage looks as if it's allowing the sunlight to kill off mites in it's plumage as I have observed with my birds. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

What a great picture..the feathers are indeed beautiful. This looks like a young bird, though I don't know. You captured him perfectly. Good detail and perfect focus.
