Hi Robert

Cracking! A lovely moment really well caught. The presentation works well too.
Some might be hyper-critical and suggest a lower PoV but the image works well as is.

Cheers,
Chris

Really lovely - even the surrounding 'stuff' works really well on this. Lighting, pose, composition. Natural and all the better for it.

A very nice image Robert. Nice detail on the Heron and I think all the grasses work very well in the image. :jump:
