Brilliant pose Ofer. Great light and details.

[Wynand van Wyk]

Ditto on the light, love it! Superb pose and great feather detail as well. I like it a lot!

Well done!

[Grady Weed]

That open wingspan, good under belly exposure and you can see the eye. Very nice.

[Karl Egressy]

Striking colours and great banking pose, Ofer.

[Doug Brown]

Sweet light and nice underwing detail. I might move the bird slightly to the left in the frame.

[Arno Ellmer]

Excellent,Ofer.I like the posture,providing good light on the underwing.We have these herons in Southern Africa as well and they are quite difficult to photograph well since the images mostly produce a(one) very dark underwing.Agree with Doug to move the bird to the left.

Lovely pose, light and details. A tiny crop from the left for me.
