Excellent timing, Mike.  You caught a great take-off position and the reflections are really cool.  This image really captures the feel of the rivers.  Well done.

Super takeoff! This feels a bit too contrasty and saturated. A look at this with some adjustments in the aforesaid might be worth doing.

Hi Mike
Nice Heron take off, but I had to go to the big photo to understand what I was looking at.

Nice timing on this Mike. I like these high contrast images. The colors really pop, the greens in the leaves and reflection add a lot imo. Cool shot!
