I love how small the heron is in the frame, Peter. And it does look rather cold. Nicely composed and executed.

I like the simplicity of the marsh and the lone heron. Small yet a big part of the composition. Love your title!

Quite cool! (And it does look like a chilly morning.) I love the unusual comp and the idea of removing the debris in the more distant part only. And the title is wonderful!!
