Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea)

This picture I take in the Netherlands last week. The light was difficult.
What do you think?

Hi Jan,
I don`t know for the light but I Iike this image
I really like the yellow sharp eye,composition,bg and the blur wings!
What about your shooter speed?

Hey Jan,

nice image, I really like it a lot.
BG, the open bill and the composition are really great here.

Maybe I have the chance to go there in 2 weeks again and try to get some shoots like yours.

Great action shot!
