This has beautiful natural colors and fine focus making it a wonderful nature shot! The herons details are pleasing to see and his foot in action so pleasing! Nice background and use of lighting.

Great photograph of this juvenile heron searching for the next snack. He is probably still learning how to hunt.
Wonderful colors, details and so nicely presented. The placement within the frame is good and nicely balanced presentation.

I like the capture of this beautiful green heron, a bird we don't have in our area; outstanding sharp details of the feathers;

Nice detailed capture of the heron and the log on the ground. Good thoughts regarding the juvenile green heron's plans. The water with it's blurring is also nice.

Wow! Great capture here! Your focus is incredible, I can see every feather. Nice composition walking across that rock, he is well placed within the frame. The green water adds depth and colour to the shot. Well done!

Thanks, Sweet Soul Sister. Are you in the US? Hope all is well with you and your love ones. Hug! Missed the good old days when some Old Timers here, were still here, like "Life in this Island" and I do not know if Jairus and Dick are still here. Any idea? Take care.

You are most welcome Soul Sister, No I am not in the US, but my entire family is in the US and I have many partners in the US, so once all opens again, I will come back, I will ask, please send your questions per message, so I can answer better

Comment from Artistsushma
Wonderfully clicked with such a lovely composition. I love that one clawed foot of the heron just loosely touching the cliff. Yes, the heron appears to be hungry and in search of his next prey!! You titled it to perfection!!
