A very nice, uncluttered portrait. :toast:

Its a cracker, I'd like to see a vertical version with a full reflection as well if you did one!

Very nicely framed and composed. I'd soften the two tiny wavelets to the right of the waterline, as they drag the eye, otherwise well done.

Thanks all,

The wavelets are ice,the water was largely frozen with just a few places that had thawed.And because of my position there is'nt a full length reflection,I would have needed to be much higher for that.

Good stuff all round.

Very, Very Nice. Probably the best heron portrait I have seen.

Very nice indeed, got lots of heron shots but it's one of those birds I can never seem to nail properly. :toast:
