A fairly standard heron picture but I was quite pleased with the reflection on this one.

Hi Robert
You may already know my views and fears on and of reflections. ! :wink:
I think this one with the gamma raised would be better, and a bit more space left would help.
Its like he's going for something out of the shot.
Cheers
John

Hi Robert,

Nice shot, but I also think it needs a bit more space on the left side.

Classic Heron... agree it needs a touch more space to the left, also it needs rotating about 3 degrees clockwise... check this with the ruler tool from the eye to the eye in the reflection...
