This is so prettily composed and so very bright and cheerful...I smiled as it downloaded in the bigger size and I could actually see the heron in among all the various greens. :)PJ

Best capture of a heron I have seen yet. I took some shots of some of them today with a 200mm. I still needed mor telephoto to really bring them in close. Did you use a big telephoto on this? Very nice work.

It's so clear I love how the heron stands out against all that green. Great job! Yup, definately a favorite.

Beautiful photo. Did you use a fill flash to get the heron to stand out? Nicely framed.

Lovely color composition and DOF Chip.I would have cloned out the branch upper left.I think it draws the eye away from the main focus of the image.Superb capture!!

Wow you did a great job with this photo! It's so very clear and I like how the green frames the heron. I also really like the view of the water in the background, it adds to the shot and gives it some nice color.This is definately going in my favorites! :)

Very nice shot. Good clarity and lighting. I tend to agree with Joseph about the branch at the upper right.

Lovely capture. Clear, great colors, and superb choice of subject placement. The leaves gracefully frame the heron which, in turn, adds beauty and character to it's surroundings as well--a perfect couple! The dry branch on the upper left side detracts a bit yet closes the image, keeping one's eye from wandering too deeply into the water. No matter what the opinion, this is a unique and peaceful photograph scene and you did a fine job capturing it. Excellent work :) -Twig
