Nice detail and pose with a beautiful reflection. Peter.  I like the simple composition-very suitable for this.

Great techs and a lovely color palette, Peter. I like the intensity of the bird's focus on its task.

Very nice levels of detail and color transitions in this Little Blue Heron.   I like the composition.  Nice to see the intent stare of the hunting bird.
