Nice capture!
Congrats.
Very sharp image. Little shadow on the neck but it is not bothersome. Good job.
Great capture of this behavior. Makes you wonder how he did it. Details and BG look good. I wish for a lower angle and a better head angle. Could you have moved to your left?
Sharp, with the two cool fish, but the shadow on the neck (caused by a poor light angle) does bother me.... The bird's head is turned too far away and the bill is a mess. Not much you could do about that except choose a more handsome subject (with three fish!) Lastly the birghtest whites are burned or very close to it.

Great one here. Ditto artie.
nice timing with beautiful soft/warm light!
Great capture, love the detail in the two fish. Was this cropped much?
Thanks for all the comments. Jeremy it's full frame.
Technicals not to great however I wanted to share this catch with you. I defiantly have not seen a Heron catches two small little fish like this, no I lie he actually got this right 3 times.:D I took this shot out of the car and hence the shadow and angle.
