Just a twist ..
Still working on the heron reflection shot, shame it just faded out towards the head. The bird was taking snails from the shallow water when another heron approached, hence the head turn. Image flipped as it seemed better balance this way round.

I like it and I think it works better for being flipped. :toast:

An excellent portrait, well seen and captured. Only you, as the photographer, know which way any subject is orientated, when the image is taken Nice one.

Nice shot of a bird that I have had great difficulty with. Don't have any as good as this. I see you didn't make the mistake I did, by flipping an image after adding my copyright :biggrin:

Like the way the light heron works against the dark reeds and their reflection in the water :smile:
