Great IQ Chris, and tack sharp too. I like the landing pose. How is the action there at this time of the year?

[Gerrie van Vuuren]

Great timing, pose, detail, colours & composition Chris!

[Dumay de Boulle]

Great pose and exposure Chris, some here may comment on the the fact that the beak and the wing merge, but it doesn't bug me...This is one fine piece of photography!

Chris:

Sharp,well exposed, shadow adds, yes, would prefer no bill merge with wing.

Because of his flight path, might consider a sliver more room below.

Not the type of BG I normally see with night herons.

Cheers

Stunning shot - that eye is incredible. Detail is perfect.

[James Salywoda]

Fantastic Shot! Great wing position and detail.

[Brendan Dozier]

Very nice image and action pose. You can't get any sharper

[Pieter de Waal]

Unusual to get them in the open like this. Nicely exposed in that bright light. Great underwing detail and love the shadow. Agree with a little more room below
