What a unique shot -- I really like how the curved lines of the waterfall and those in the reflection not only mirror each other but draw my eye to the heron. Nice pose and lighting also! The blurred wing doesn't really bother me.

I like this a lot..if possible just a bit more room top and right.

Ditto Peter's excellent critique; this is a beautifully designed image. In a word: nifty!

Comp works well Nico, and I like the detail on the heron. Good fishing pose too.

Love the pose and blur on the wings..The waterfall adds

[Daniel Cadieux]

Awesome setting. I like the flow of the water from top left, towards heron, then down the falls. I agree with more room above and right.
