Like it Stephen,

Its a well known composition of a Heron, but a good one all the same. Pretty nicely lit, and plenty of room for it to gaze into. I also like the angle, i'd have probably gotten down lower, but then i'd have missed the better part of the reflection and ended up with not as good image

Really nicely balanced shot Stephen

I spent nearly 8 months trying to photograph Herons & I couldn't come up with a nice portrait like this !

well done
