Something completely different

Frank

I find it to be a wonderfully tranquil shot.

And now..I'm not playing suck up

 

I love it. The reflections in the water and flying birds over the heron against a smooth background really hold my attention.

I see a lot of excellent shots of birds & other wildlife but most don't include the environment around. I like these artistic shots showing their wildlife in their natural surroundings.

 

Frank,

What's not to like? It's very peaceful shot. I think it's a keeper for sure!

 

I echo what Leigh and the others have said, "what's not to like". Nice image with tweeking, Frank

 

Gorgeous....and of course, I AM sucking up! That grey teal-blue makes the image.

Absolutely wonderful. I would think of cropping the log from the right, oh maybe not?

 

Frank,

I like the picture. Peaceful is a good word for it.

 

Frank -

Nothing weak about this! I really like the simplicity. Only a couple of things to grab your attention - the white birds, the GBH (???) on the branches, and the patterns in the water. Works for me. The only thing I find a bit distracting are what appear to be very indistinct white vertical streaks. Am I seeing something that isn't there?

Frank this is a beautiful picture. It is different from most here and it is very good.

 

Ok I'll suck up a little :redface:
Maybe crop some more

 

This is a great shot, it carries something etheral, unreal, that makes it very pleasing. The three white birds are stricking in their contrast against the predominent hue in which the heron blends in.
I also can see the pale vertical lines. I think they are faint reflections from the first line of tree trunks on the other side of the bassin.

 

I like it. It's different, but very peaceful.

 

Thats a real nice shot Frank.

 

Frank , thats a great shot !

I agree about cropping out the log on the right though.

 

Dear Frank,
