Hi Tom,

Wonderful in-flight capture of this heron. I love the contrasts in this picture - the dark and white sky, the dark and white sides of the wings. Wonderful face with the sharp eye and beak.

Hi Tom,
This is a superb capture of an image of this wonderful looking Heron in flight. Capturing the water and rocks in the background was an added bonus. The sharpness and detail in the image is great. Very impressive.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hi Tom,
excellent sharpness here, it's position against the dark of the rock makes an excellent BG. Great light too, well done!

hi tom,
great sharpness and details, perfect timing!
very natural and easy colors.
like the soft BG, where you can still see the movements of the waves.
