Beautiful shot, Luc. The heron must have great concentration since it did not move a muscle during the fairly long exposure. Well captured.

Bonjour Luc, bravo pour cette trés belle photo. Vous avez tiré parti de l'immobilité de l'oiseau pour obtenir un bel effet sur le courant du torrent avec une pose longue. TFS Didier.

Superb moment Luc!!! He looks like Yoda pulling out X-Wing on Dagobah's swamps by The Force ;-))) But seriously - it looks great! Especially blurred stream on BG and sharp bird with amazing eye. Excellent work my friend!

Compliments Luc pour cette belle et originale composition. Grâce à la vittesse lente, l'effet de l'eau est joli. La pose de l'oiseau concentré est belle.

Hi Luc

Wonderful capture. I love the plumage colours. The exposure is spot on. Was he successful in grabbing dinner? Well done. Thanks.

Hi Luc, serious concentration going on here. Great capture of the bird and the water too. Excellent composition and sharp details and colours. Well done.

Hello Luc,

Fantastic! The pose of the bird and the concentration is fantastic! You can sense the soon coming action ... :) Well exposed, well composed and good details. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Très belle photo Luc, très réussie.
Felicitations !
Nico.

Très belle photo, Luc! Encore fallait-il, à cette vitesse-là, que le héron ne bouge pas (d'où votre titre judicieux!). C'est réussi, d'autant plus que le héron est bien net, tandis que la cascade présente un très beau "filé" en arrière-plan.
Bravo aussi pour le cadrage , car l'oeuil suit bien par les diagonales.

Beautiful natural shot - very clear and colorful. Fantastic composition and great details. Superb colors. Well done & TFS!

Hi Luc,
Excellent! Superb detail in this one. The pose is great.
Great softening of the moving water.

Scott

Hi Luc,
Very good shot of a beautiful bird. I like the POV, must be taken a long time before you captured him. Colors are OK and you succeeded also to get movement in the water by using a slow shutter speed. Indeed, there is concentration going on, of course from the bird, but also from the photographer! Very good shot.

Beautiful shot Luc.
Very good details and composition. The exposure and background are also very good.
Great work. Regards, Krzysztof.

C'est une merveilleuse scène que tu capturée ici. Telle un fauve il est prêt à bondir sur sa proie.
Les couleurs et le contraste sont superbes.
