Hi Joe. Nice lighting on the heron, to make him stand out very nicely against the reflection of shaded vegetation. Good timing to get the moment of strike. Could use some CW rotation.

Hi Bill, thank you for viewing and commenting. You have good eyes my friend, here is a repost with the image rotated clockwise.

Nice detail light and reflection. Good timing both for the action but also to get the reflection still relatively in tact. I like the water / splash between the beak especially. IQ and colors look nice. TFS

Nice reflection light off the water onto the heron, nice colors.
