MY Goodness! I've seen Green Herons but never noticed the green outline on their wings. What a cool shot! Love the beautiful detail in this. Both the lighting and focus really show the heron off. Very Nicely Done! :o) Helvi

I have never seen a green heron, but this one is a beauty! His wing feathers almost look like green and gold painted on porcelain. You have caught so much detail from his beak to his feet. The background of open water and lily pads really do a great job of making him stand out. Very nice.

Good luck in the contest!

    Thank you, they are beautiful birds, they have a nice iridescence to their wing feathers.

I really like how you captured this image. The bird is very pretty and the lily pads make it a storybook scene. This must have been very hard to photograph, and my favorite part is the bird being on the branch.

I wonder what type of bird this is. A very unique and lovely visual presented here. Your composition shades tones and use of light are very well done and executed. Thank you for sharing

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your classical and fine composition gives us a lovely look at the situation out there. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

This is a fine piece of bird photography. This clearly shows how we can never get tired of nature's beauty, even in mundane things that we otherwise ignore. The entire composition, colours, and light make this first-rate. Good luck!

Comment from Phil Holloway


Fantastic detail in the feathers, eye and bill. Well done. Well framed with the branch a good leading line into the image and directing our attention back to the subject.

This is a fine looking photo of this 'less commonly seen' species of heron,my friend!
It's a nicely lighted picture and it's very enjoyable to look at!

Great capture! I love the details and excellent focus on this. The green water plants on the wing are a great touch. All around nice entry. Good luck in the contest!
