Not the best photographically - but I don't think most people realize how easily spooked these birds are. I've never even got close to a shot as good as this one of a Blue Heron.

This certainly deserved higher than it did, but there's at least a few of us who appreciate your work here!

Very nice wildlife scene, but I wish the quality was a little bit better. To me it seems you might have cropped very close, thus decreasing the detail and sharpness of the image.

It'll be a struggle for the little dear, now, won't it? Nice moment, though there's a strong sense of lack of resolution to this image - the fine detail just isn't there.

Very harsh lighting, fuzzy (caused from long zoom perhaps)
