my rated best of gallery ( 30 ratings ) GB-Heron with fish in gulf

Great shot... make-up and wardrobe need to work on the little errant feather there :-). As always, great capture... Mike

You know, I think you're starting a Heron/Egret cult on the site. Suddenly, J.L. clones are appearing, and Lord knows you keep us well enough supplied with images of these friggin' birds. The only upside is that it's preferable to having to stare back into the eyes of 25 eagles daily.

As usual, you defy criticism. Your images are crisp, highly textured, and the colors are invariably complementary, high-lighting without obscuring the subject.

Begrudgingly: 7/7

( I have to look up the signifigance of water-bird fetish in the Freudian literature. I bet it's really ugly - everything in Freud is.)

Oh boy. I don't have to envy Mr. Bird (I think it's Mr.) today, because I get to eat fish too!

Very good focus and 'pose'. Wave in the background really makes the shot.
