This is a great portrait of a Great Blue Heron being a heron. It must have been chilly, as he is holding one leg up against his body. Full breeding plumage shows all the field identification marks for birders–wonderful potd! Congrats and thanks.

Reminds me of an Olympic swimmer ready for the dive!

He looks as though he is concentrating on his next meal. Lovely shot.

What a great nature shot. He definately has his eye on something. Reminds me of that look in a cat just before pouncing. Congratulations on a great photo of the day!!

Nice shot, pity the light was so poor.

This is an every-day picture. Not noticeable and not memorable. It is well focused but, so what?

nice capture and definitely clear shot. I would have cropped the top most part maybe there is too much water around.

A beautiful bird in a good composition. Nice colors! Like Malta i would have cropped the top of the photo and added some light .

Nice! I like that the bird is “centered” more or less on the vertical plane; if anything, I would crop the grass a bit; but what do I know, I’m not a photographer, just a nature lover.
