Perfect angle, Allen, with excellent detail and that nice water background. I like the reflections from the water on the underside of the wing.

Nice one, as the branches’ curve match the pose of the heron vey nicely ! Cheers, Hans

A wonderful in flight shot, Allen. I like that limb in his mouth. Before I looked at the large version, I thought I was looking at a beak, and wondering how that could be. Wonderful details in the heron.
