Beautiful as usual Brother Chris.  It looks like a ballet celebrating the catch.

I like the colors of the GBH and thought it might be nice to make them pop a bit more.

Hope you and yours all had a Merry Christmas and that your 2011 is all 7/7s.

Balancing like a Ballerina,excellent  unusual catch,beautiful composition and detail

Very elegant,nice colors,regards.

Great shot! Looks like celebrating the catch.

My best wishes for a happy 2011.

Beautifully done and elegantly presented. Regards,

Finger up, an excellent photo,  i like the contrast between the very sharp image of the heron and the fantastic blur of the background, the red fish is the cherry on the pie, ciao Giangiorgio

Fantastic contrast between the background and the blue heron.

Great pose and details aswell :)

Gotta love the  spearmaster.  You always have the best backgrounds and PP is of a high caliber as usual.  For me, the wing and head angle aren't at attractive angles, mostly the wings.  Love the little tassle on his head though.  Happy holidays to you and your family.

Incredible work, Chris. Amazing clarity and sharpness. Excellent against the perfect b/g. All the best for 2011. Regards, Lawrence.

Thanks everyone for your time and comments

Excellent shot!

Terrific capture  7/7........Regards

What a magnificent shot!  We live close to a GBH rookery, so we often see them flying over, but it's a treat to see its wingspan.  I didn't know they were actually this blue!  At any rate, if it were me I'd boost the contrast and/or sharpening just a tiny bit.  It would be the finishing touch on an already magnificent shot.
