Taken in between the snow falling and the light fading rapidly.

Beautiful! I wonder if it would have looked even better a little smaller in the frame?

I really like this Stephen. Good feather detail and nice catchlight in the eye. He looks rather like a grumpy old man - not that I can think of any on NPN

Good shot. Love the snow and feather detail.

Agree with Tim re size in the frame but I also want to echo the "beautiful" comment others have made... this certainly has that 'extra something special'

Perfect for me. Excellent.

Like this a lot, Stephen. You seem to have captured the mood of the bird - that "hunched shoulders" look!

Cliff is right, you have captured the apparent mood of the bird beautifully.

By the way, Maggie, I am a self-confessed grumpy old man. No point in getting old if you can't be grumpy

This is very appealing - a little tight for me but a great mood and love the texture and detail in the Heron.

Beautiful. You've indeed captured a great mood. The detail in the feathers and the snow are very nice.
