Very cool shot. I wish we had those around here. I would not change anything if this were my shot. Well done,

Fantastic pose and tense moment. Wish you’d gotten the eye as sharp as the body, but it’s close and the exposure looks spot on.

Hi Richard
Your Tricolor Heron has very nice feather and color detail. I eye contact and leg lift really add to this photograph.

I like everything about this photo, Richard! The exposure, focus and colors are excellent and the foot coming forward for the next step really adds interest. Composition is also excellent with all of the reflection showing and positioned perfectly in the frame. Definitely a killer shot!
