Ellen- Good morning my friend. What a stunning picture you got of this remarkable bird. I love the pose as if its got its eye on the next lunch. Wonderful close up which highlights all the fantastic features of the heron. Each part of the bird is so well defined with accracy. The long legs, the feet with the long toes, the layered feathers, the eye so keen, the bill ready to grab. The markings of the bird so beautiful. Outstanidng textures. Love the waterx Fabulous colors that finish off the presentation with such clarity. Excellent lighting as well.
Marvelous work
Have a most wonderful day, take care, enjoy #6162309
