Wow Jack, that is one amazing capture, he is looking bolt down the lens. I would not like to be the fish that is on the end of his next attack. Lovely DoF producing this stunning detail. This is wonderful work Jack. You should be very proud.

Jake.

Herons love to eat $$$ KOI out of peoples ponds. I put a net over my pond to keep the kingfisher away. Great shot.

I often imagine I'm a fish but after looking at this fella, I gonna imagine I'm a fish swimming in very deep water or a very long way away from him
Excellent picture and pose, straight facing you on one leg, thats not that common surely ? I'd have thought this was one of those great and rare shots one off, its great, I like it

Very well done. I don't know that I've seen straight on view like this before. Looks menacing.

Is that a great blue heron?
