The young ones really show-off the three colors for which they're named. Beautiful. The dark shapes on the right (cypress knees?) seem to crowd it a little, that that's not a deal-breaker. Love the perch, love the background.

Just beautiful Ronnie. I particularly like the setting and the placement of the heron in it. You seldom fail to deliver excellence.
