 Took this from a small boat. Got as close to the Heron as I could before he took off. He was not very happy with me as can be seen by his expression.

Hi from the Critique Club,

You asked for your shot to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.

This is really an excellent shot, I am not sure that there is much I can add to this, your sharpness is amazing, your clarity is excellent.

I think maybe pushing the contrast a little of the water and background would have made this really pop.

An excellent image, well done

GB Herons are such great subjects. Very good shot. Must have gotten a bit too close for his comfort.
