I thought that I liked this one better, but now I'm not sure! I really like the blue in this one and the reflection is great. You're lucky to get two great shots, these birds are really hard to capture!
hard to decided between them too but i think i like this one best for the gorgeous blue colour and that excellent reflection .. less distractions from a background altho that's just my opinion .. :)
I like both of these images. This one is particularly interesting because of the added shapes provided by the ripples. It is also interesting to note the difference between the angles of the heron's neck above the water and the reflection. It's almost as if they are in different points in time.
