Hi Michel,
This is well exposed and very sharply focused, with great detail in the feathers. It is also very well timed. You can sense the strike about to happen.

Hello Michel,
I love the Great Blue Heron and I have seen and taken many photos of it, but this is one of the best I have seen. It's a great natural setting and you captured the heron in a typical pose waiting to snatch a fish from the water. The exposure and the colors are incredible. Outstanding details in plummage.

Very nice capture Michel. It's not easy getting to within a few feet of one of these guys and obviously it has paid off for you. You've picked up excellent detail throughout. Very nicely done.

Thanks, John

Hola Michel.- Agradable foto de este hermosa "Garza". Los colores son muy naturales sin sobreexposicion y gran nitidez.

Una pose muy típica de la garza vigilando la pesca en el río. Muy buen detalle y sombras muy suaves.
