I like this a whole lot. Your style gives you away. All those flashes of light that come from who knows where, and they work so well. If you have any doubts, just ask the heron. Lovely job. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

What an impressive piece, it's gorgeous! The heron is beautiful (I love to photograph them!) and I love the light throughout, it reminds me of an early summer morn with the rising sun casting it's golden glow throughout. A stunning entry for this contest, my best wishes to you!

When fall first comes around and the trees start turning them pretty colors of red, tan, red-orange, orange, and yellow. This is a beautiful picture and swan just add that touch! Great presentation and thank you for sharing

AI certainly makes beautiful imagery. Love the way you guided the image thru the process. Love the way this is set up. Both the river and the heron are beautiful with lovely detail. Love the little twinkled throughout the image. I see them as fireflies or sprinkle of rain with a little bot of reflecting sun. Fantastic image for the nature AI contest! Wish I had a six for you! Good luck! in the contest! :o) Helvi

This is a beautiful rendition of the great blue heron in all his majesty. A lovely setting against the the autumn colors in the background. A lovely surreal atmosphere around the whole scene. Good luck in the contest.

A very lovely visual present to hear of this here as it gazes upon the waters. Composition, shades, tones, colors and textures are very well done and presented. Thank you for sharing.

You have captured the beauty of our world in a single frame. Fine looking digital art. This is a well-composed landscape; it is a visual poem of the earth. Good luck!
