The thumbnail doesn't look good, the light was difficult (sun (yeh) just in the front), but I like this photo. I also could have called it "just another lunchtime shot". Comment to myself: Think it's too centered. Reply: but I wanted to get all the herons in the photo.
Really is a nice shot capturing the whole of what u see and the moment of so many Herons...
Agree -- the sun slightly distracting in the center..A nice picture just the same..
I agree with shooting for all the herons in the picture. to try aand crop out any of them is distracting and loses some compositional aspects that are eye pleasing.
Neat! This is a place I would love to be. Seems our herons are loners as I see only one at a time. Like the pond going off into the distance and trying to see all those other birds.
Nice scene. Next time try herding the herons closer together (just kidding -- you are doing well to get three in one photo). Agree that bright spot on bottom distracting, but would suggest cloning or some other method of fixing rather than cropping.
Yeah, I know about the heron thing (most I ever got was 3), but I like this shot for showing the whole scene, the geese, the woods, the stream meandering away. Might crop off the bottom a bit, centre reflection a bit distracting.
