I like the colours and reflection and the image looks very arty. Maybe a littlte more space in front? Alround a very good image Daniel.

[Daniel Belasco]

Thanks Hendri
I would also have liked more room in front, but the heron started running towards me at a fast rate and it was all I could do to fit him in!

[Keith Bauer]

Very nice. To solve the problem in the front, I'd look at adding some canvas. The water in this is great.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Given the beautiful reflection and the colour of the water, perhaps a wider, landscape approach could also ahve worked? Still a very pleasing image:-)

Daniel:

Lovely colors, great sense of motion/action. Some noise in the darker areas.

The bird needs to be rotated CW based on the location of the eye in the reflection compared to the bird itself.
When I checked it, it measured 4.2 degrees off. It looks better rotated, but the tight framing causes the head to be chopped a bit.

I think it would be worth it to add some canvas all the way around, and then rotate it.

Thanks for sharing.

Lovely colours, focus and action but I have to agree that it needs more room.

[Michael Zajac]

Impressive colors in the BG. It's a bit tight. Might need a rotation.

Great colors. I would add some more space if you can to the left and bottom. NR might not be a bad idea on the BG along with some USM of the bird.
