ooh well done its a great moving shot
nearly perfectly caught his eye in total sharpness leaving all the other moving bits to blur

great angle of flight and positioning in frame giving the impression that hes nearly escaped!

nice light (presumably bouncing off the sand or sea) showing detail in the shadows under his heavy strong wings

i do like it :)

I think I can suffer the tiny bit of blur Terri ... overall it's a quality shot. The color here is wonderful and those wings are fantastic against the water. Oh yeah ... I like it ... A LOT!!

One of my favorite types of photos. You have managed to capture the heron with excellent detail, color and composition and what's really cool is the fact that he his flying, thanks for sharing, Don

Have looked through all your photos, and they are all very good, this shot though is one of my favourites. Don't worry about the motion blur unless you have a very fast shutter speed, and pan the shot it's very hard to avoid. Besides blur indicates movement, and is even encouraged sometimes "know what I mean" !!

I like this shot because the Heron is alone, and flying free across water on a beautiful day.

Perhaps Herons are not the most beautiful of birds, but they still remain graceful despite their clumsly bodies. Large sharp beaks, and strong feet guarantee them fish every day, and that what makes them a success hey !!

Have a nice day Mad Maven.
