Hello György,
Nice heron but just as nice reflections in the lake. The bent reeds and the waves indicate it was a windy day. You composed the photo well with the focal points to the side and the bird looking into the centre. You handled the light well too.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Gyorgy

Love the classic view here with the blurred background giving all the attention to the bird. Nice......I it was my image for a moment ;)

Hi Gyorgy,evidently it is no longer afraid in front of human beings, perhaps he has become accustomed to their presence and prefers to keep the perfect place to hunt fish rather than leave ... ehehe ... magnificent catch, I do not much agree on black and white this time, but I respect your choice. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hello Gyorgy,
A wonderful and sharp capture of the heron at the edge of the water. Along with the long grass it stands out so well from the blurry water, which also reflected the light very well. A lovely and tranquil view.

Hello Gy,

Herons are very alert birds, I try every week to make a picture, but when the heron see my camera he fly between the trees
You create a nice panning picture with the blurred background.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

Hi Gyorgy
A good B&W, with good shallow depth of field, of the heron standing still, although it may have just been keeping an eye on something in the water.
cheers
Ian

Hello Gyorgy,

It's almost as if the heron has stopped to pose for you!

It's a really fine shot, the bird and the grasses sharply located in the r/h third, whilst the rest of the scene is a useful, blurred setting.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
As we passed the stream in our village, a heron was standing with a fish in its beak. Stunning! But, as a passenger in a car, I had no chance of a photograph!
