[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken during a trip to Sweden Island "Gotland" went to this nature reserve called KOVIK, arrived there before the complete sunset at around 2030 where the bay had this lovely mist and from a distance I saw this heron on top of this rock looking out to sea. Took it while I had the chance and then tried to get closer to get a nearer shot, then he decided to fly away out towards the ocean.....

Magnifique photo !
Lumière très agréable avec ce petit nuage de brume.
Splendide.
Bravo !
Nico.

Excellent shot and well done on the tones.

The composition would increase if the bird was to the right more. About a third of the way in from the right and not centered, slightly down, less black of grass.

Hello Demetrio, very nice photo, la brume donne une atmosphére particuliére, jolies teintes. Un leger decentrement de l'oiseau vers la droite lui aurait permis un envol plus confortable !! Félicitations Didier.

Hello DEmetrio
I like the silhouette of the heron against the moody mist.It looks like a magical time.

Hi Demetrio,
Great shot in a great landscape. I like the monochrome character of your photo. The very special atmosphere is perfectly reproduced. Good job!
Regards, Ruud

Magnificent! Easily your best photo. I agree with Mike about the composition, the bird should not be in the centre. You'll know for next time!

Hi Demetrio!

It is a very nice image. I like the high contrast in it. We cannot see details in the bird, but it is not necessary since it is easily recognisable by its shape. I like the three planes of focus (foreground, middle ground and background), it gives a lot of depht to your image. I also lie the trace of fog at the horizon.
Good work and TFS.

Hi Demetrio, this is a good shot. Very atmospheric and a very nice mood. The composition is a little too centred for my liking but it's a very good image. Well done.
