A very interesting comp Rick. Very different. I like the overall tones and action.

Quite a different approach and I like it. The rock bottom of the creek makes an interesting BG and I like the action of the heron grabbing the fish. The floating leaf adds a nice touch as well.

Very unique and artistic. I love the design elements and the nice shadows that add depth. Very, very nicely done.

Excellent story telling capture with different angle. TFS.

Unique angle...I like the added patterns you can see from the ground under the water and the diagonal angle of the bird.
