Nailed the composition, however the tones are a bit lacking and the water is a bit distracting. I think one think that could add a lot would have been to do a long exposure to smooth the water, also maybe brightening up the heron, or completely making him a silhouette, right now you can still see just a little bit of detail in him. It needs to be one or the other, nice job with the shot though.

too much wasted space. actually like a crop with the light and dark water splits the image diag.

Nicely framed. Would have preferred this in colour as colour images similar to this have historically scored well. Nonetheless a well captured image. Good Luck. 6.

I like the diagonal. Keeping it simple works well.

I like it! It might have been a little better to have the heron on the left side of the picture so you wonder what he is looking at. An 8.
