Bravo, Aivar.
Superb done in flight shot. Pose of the heron, sharpness and details of its image, composition and exposure of the shot are perfect. I also like the BG: well lightened, excellent blurred and naturally colored. My compliments and TFS.

Hi Aivar,
Nice flight shot. Not Grey Heron however. The white underwing coverts contrasting with the black primaries is diagnostic. This is an adult Ardea melanocephala (Black-headed Heron).

Hi Aivar

What a splendid shot of this in-flight heron!
It's nice to see other species of herons here on TN...we've seen lots of photos of the grey ones and here, this beautiful black-headed one looks great and is definately an excape from the routine :)
The details in which it is presented are supersharp and the lighton him is excellent.
The side POV is wonderful and the DOF chosen here is excellent. Nice freezing of the motion and great blurry BG behind it, too.
Very well done!

Bravo and TFS

Nice flight catch Aivar with amazing colors and timing.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, sharpness, colors, DOF, focus, background, lighting, framing.

I like it: notes.

I don't like it: nothing to argue.

Excellent action very well depicted.
Thank you and greetings... Ricardo
