Very nice shot. Love the colors of the water, great pose, fish really adds, and I really like the comp.
Well done.
Beautiful image. Great pose and light.
Marc:
Lovely colors, like just the hint of detail visible in the bird and fish. The big splash adds to the sense of action.
I fiddled with a crop up from the bottom because the reflection is of only moderate quality, but preferred your OP!
Hope he got away from the croc.

Hi Marc, love the colours in this, and the heron silhouette works well. Good to see the heron's catch, and I like the circular ripple in front of him from plucking out the fish. No doubt he flew before the croc came close. Nasty characters they are.
