A nice capture,very well done.

Congratulations Radu because of your 100th photo!
Amazing shot. Just perfect.

Il est magnifique ce héron, beau profil.
Felicitations, j'aime beaucoup.
Nico.

Lovely 100th image Radu. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a green heron but, after seeing your image, I'm sure glad there is. Lovely colours! A very minor niggle is the strong highlights on the edge of leaf and by foot which could maybe be cloned out? The composition, colour (green and russet is gorgeous), sharpness, DOF and shape of bird against the striking foliage are all terrific. Thank you for posting and I see you already reached the 1700, well done! :)

Yeah, he is green alright ;) But i love it.. the yellow borders on the green wings are just beautifull.

congrats on your 100th post

I admire the photos you take, Radu :-) Very nice colour and subtle light here. Yes, I'm in love with Romania since 2000, when I came there for the first time. This year was the 5th time so it's a long term love as you can see :-) Also to the extent that I do some of my work there :-)
