I like the idea here - great pose and reflection, and very interesting water patterns.
Unfortunately, very soft.

Not the typical heron pose. I really like the light in this and great reflections. Looks quite painterly to me. Great job!

Great minimal image! Beautiful texture and colors on the water.

Beautiful composition, Rick. I don't know if it was processing or a large crop, but I seem to see a lot of "digitization" in the larger image.

I really like how the reflection comes full circle Rick.
Also like the subtle tapestry of the water that reveals the environment so well

I like the feel of this shot Rick. In the larger image the bird is a bit too soft for this image to work well for me. Can you find this bird again and give it another try? It would be worth it IMO.
