Very good picture Luc.
Maybe looking for the spring ;-)
Good composition and nice colours, but a little soft.
Very good work.

Good shot Luc, even if the focus a bit soft and there are traces on the branch.

Nice composition.

Luc, Like the position of your subject in this vertical frame. Great shot with the Heron in the tree like this, usually see them elsewhere. Excellent notes. Well done!

Nice composition Luc, shame it is a wee bit soft in focus, nevertheless it's a very nice shot and good note.

Thanks for posting.

Hi Luc, lovely pose and composition. the focus a bit soft though. You also picked up some chromatic abberation on the branch at the feet. Check out the tips section in the forum. AdrianW did a nice post on removing CA from photo's if you're interested. Majestic birds these big Herons.
