He is a beauty Luc, and indeed, looks like he is having a great deal of fun.
Wonderful composition, pose, detail, and POV.
Well done and thank you for sharing him with us.

ps. I have arrived! (and am totally motion sick...)

Pin sharp focus and great POV. The lighting is just right and I like the bit of foam around the bird.

Nice post!

This bird is drunk, Luc ;-) Look at its pose and red eye ;-) I like it, refreshing look for birds with high quality and sea on BG. S2 was very good choice ;-)

Superbe image, Luc !
C'est amusant, cette position, il me fait penser un peu à un surfer qui part à l'assaut des vagues avec sa planche sous le bras ;-)

Once more a great shot Luc. I am falling in love with this bird the more I see your pictures. Great colours and good composition with the foam in the water. Bravo!

Hello Luc!
Wonderful post.Clear eyes and details,moment you caught and composition are excellent.Thanks for sharing.

Great capture Luc, very nice composition, detail and pose. Good work.

Hi Luc, Superb moment and superb exposure. I really like the posture of this bird against the incoming waves. It is sharp, detailed, the colours are great. Lovely shot :)

Hello Luc, You've captured the perfect pose..This heron seems to have that certain swagger in its stride that is undeniably upbeat and fits your title to a tee. Excellent colors, details, exposure and sharpness..Very well done my friend!

Bonjour le Quebec et bravo pour cette photo de Bihoreau qui a peur de se mouiller les pattes !! TFS Didier.

Hello Luc

Wonderful sharp details. Very good light. Nice POV. Very well composed. Top shot. Thanks.

Hi Luc.
You are sometimes very imaginative with your critics, so I will be in this one too :D
This one looks like it is inviting you to take a bath, or maybe like one of those guys who invites you to enter the show: "come along my friends, to the show that never ends..."
I dont know which I like most, this one or the previous posted.
Have a nice weekend too.

What a pose you got thios fellow in, Luc. Exceptional pose and POV. Where you in the water with it? :) Very well done, my friend.

Very nice capture Luc - and very funny to look at too, looks like the bird is dancing in the water. Very good sharpness/dof, very nice handling of the light and an excellent composition/cropping. - I would never guess that it is a heron because in my inner picture ´herons hve long necks.
