Stuart:

Rather a large subject for a macro lens!

I like the lighting, strong sense of depth to the image, some cloud detail to add interest to the sky, colors in the sky play well with the bird.

Comp is a bit snug. but works for the lines in the image.

Cheers

Good detail though image a little small. Fantastic flight pose but with added interest. Superb image.

Oh to do bird photography with a 180mm lens! You Floridians have it pretty good! I like the light, sharpness, and behavior. Wing position, particularly the near wing, could be a little better.

Wonderful stop-action shot with good exposure and lots of visual interest.

What a fun landing pose and the nesting material makes it even better. Lovely light. Well done, Stuart.

Lovely image Stuart. I have watched these herons carry sticks from one end of the marsh to the other when many were closer. To carry it must be a special stick. Wonderful light.
