A nice combination of elements in this one, the emerald water is a bonus. Well done.

Lovely image, Alfred. I would like to see the entire reflection, but nice as is.

Alfred, this is nice. Love the feet hanging just above the water.

I love the bird suspended over the gorgeous water here. Really great catch!

Beautiful shot! I don't mind not seeing the entire reflection. I bet you could have fit it if you were vertical :) That would have been a very nice shot too. As is the bird could come down in the frame a bit given that the reflection isn't whole, but its hard to know where to end reflections. I think you did great - very nice shot!

Nest building BCNH!!

Nice pose and composition, nesting material on the beak is a plus, wonderful water and partial reflection, would work well as a pano too, nice exposure and pretty good detail!! Congrats!!! 8)

Alfred, you captured interesting action and a very nice pose. I think the image would be stronger with a bit less reflection and less space behind the heron, and, I would vote to crop a little from the right and bottom. Nicely done.

I like it a lot. The wings position are just perfect. I would like to see the colors a littler stronger.
