Very sharp! :)

Elegant shot, love the sharp detail and the reflection! Delicious lighting.

Lovely bird, lovely composition, excellent shot :)

Wonderful light on the background and an interesting pose of the bird :)

Nice how the reflection has blurry and sharp areas :)

Marvelous. I like that his 'beard' feathers have a similar texture to the grasses beyond. And he reflects so nicely in the water. A splendid image !

love the color n texture of the grass n it made a great backdrop to bring out the subject. again, the sharpness of ur photos r incredible

Another superb shot . Well spotted to see him while driving.

Fantastic. What a majestic bird! I really like the composition and sharpness of this image.

Really superb !

Great catch, nice light, well detailed and beautiful reflection of the heron in the water.

Ce héron est photographié dans un environnement de nature magnifique dans sa position typique. Très beau reflet également. Bonne journée.

sublime composition and shot

An excellent shot - great light !

Such a wonderful image in detail, colours and reflection, John4Jack - brilliant!

Your a master of gold tones.

Steady hand, good useful photo, good vision, patience, good taste, talent, mastery ... forgetting something? A beautiful composition edited to perfection and a good role model! Thanks very much dear Jack! Muchos besos para hoy! Adela

Splendide image! Superbe environ naturel! J'aime beaucoup!

Good capture, funny looking bird is the heron. Always looks as though it has hunched and bunched shoulders.

nice reflection

Magnificent capture. A perfect shot!

Isn't it wild how the great blues look gray? I took several shots of one at a preserve and most of them were gray until I got around to a certain angle and the blue just popped. Well taken photo here Jack. You have good detail throughout and it has an overall warm feeling to it and the fresh scent of fall.

Nice picture. I like it

Utterly beautiful, Jack, with the reflection and the cover of the tall grass

The background is gorgeous, and it reflects a wonderful, beautiful and great photo, jack!
Five stars!
friendships!

Excellent .... quoi dire de plus !... 5*****

Great capture . beautiful processing !

I like you kept its reflection and the honey tone is superb all around

Wonderful reflexion of this bird, love light.
Excellent!

Brilliant shot, so sharp and detailed!
The heron is posing like a schoolteacher..;-))))

Beautiful reflections! Bird and stump almost seem related. Similarly grim and craggy looking, surrounded by the beauty of the grasses.

Wonderful capture, Jack ... good eyes, Ellie!

Very magestic bird, the Heron. You caught him overlooking his kingdom. Great shot Jack, nice work on the composition.

Cool heron, and nice environment too.

A striking resemblance : ] best...jerry

Great catch, with a great reflection.....they're just so regal looking.....well done!!

The tall grasses act as a nice contrasting background to highlight the heron's presence nicely. Great detail and tones captured here.

Congratulations. The comments above are spot-on. Amazing how seemingly complex a background/reflection can be so pleasing in such a simple, quiet photo. Love it.

Gorgeous shot. Love the colors and reflections.

This is a spectacular photograph! I love the beautiful golden light- but my words seem flat compared to how I feel looking at this!

I was already going, "wow" and then the heron came into view and then the reflection. Wow again. Great shot!

Wow!

great

just 5 stars!!!

Great capture. I've always wanted to get a shot of one of these guys. Guess I need to buy a telephoto. Like others said, I really like the reflection.

faboulous! In a way these birds are funny...They looks like old grumpy persons...

This is a great composition Jack. The beautiful background and the mirroreffect in the water makes this photo great!

I love the reflection in the water.

Amazing shot. Very beautiful.

I love herons - whatever they do they look great -. and sometimes like a clothes stand with a forgotten jacket.... - and in this picture with the warm reef background and the soft and silky reflection he looks great and pensive.

Strong image of a distinctive bird - really like this one!

i like specially this one...i like specially this one... atmosphere, reflection, bird's attitude...

Fabulous tones and light! Very well done :)

You lucky so 'n so!! Wonderful!!!!

BEAUTIFUL!!

Just stunning!

Fantastic..an instant fave...beautifully captured..5 stars

This is masterpiece quality, one to be proud of! I'm very fond of these hirsute herons, they have such an atmosphere of <Wise Men>, as if always meditating on deep topics!
