excellent image,nice detail,good low angle,if it were mine,I wish,would tone down the highlights on bill.well done.

[Marina Scarr]

This capture is gorgeous. The light And environment strike me as most important elements here but the low shooting angle and head angle really helped too.

[Melissa Groo]

Another superb capture of this heron, Ofer. Wonderful light, low angle, sharpness and detail.

[Jim Fenton]

Love the pose, surroundings and subject. I might try it toned down just a bit on the brightness, but I can't tell without seeing it that way.

[Bill Dix]

Wonderful shot, Ofer. Sweet light, great pose and detail; bird nicely composed against the bg. And in addition, what makes it for me is the inclusion of just a bit of the pool in the foreground. Some of the whites are in the high 240s, but without any apparent loss of detail, so the brightness works for me.

[Sachin Saraf]

Another beauty Ofer... Wonderful capture...when I look at the image can not take eyes off the bird.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent Pose and light, good exposure control, nice comp and good ambient.

[Doug Brown]

Like the hunting pose, low angle, and sharpness. Solid exposure. I might remove the specular highlight on the tip of the bill.

[Mark Young]

Love the light and low angle.

[dankearl]

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very good looking heron and lovely blue BG!

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Ofer, terrific composition. that spot of water where the heron is looking at...including that makes a big difference. great angle, exposure and colors. this whole series has been enjoyable.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Another awesome low angle shot. Great light, detail and the exposure looks right on too. I love the intent in the pose.

[Robert Holguin]
