At the end of the day, a Heron sits by waters edge on the Mohawk river. There was little light left but the setting suns reflection in the water, and I captured a number of shots. I liked the contrast of the shadow of the ripples and the bird.

Lighting, exposure, color, saturation, and hue are all done quite well. Focus and depth of field are excellent.
I really like this picture, and am somewhat surprised that it didn't do better. I love the color of the water.
There are only two small items that could have hurt your score. You've added a frame to your picture, and for whatever reason some people here don't seem to favor them in their voting. The other is that negative space at the bottom of the picture seems a little large. It tends to take attention away from the bird, and it runs into the frame.
These two points are small, as I really enjoy this shot. Congratulations on a well done entry.
Nice picture. Good colors.. The only thing is that I think the lower part of the picture goes together with the bird... can´t say how you could have avoided that :o( Love the colors in the waves... good luck :o)
