It is amazing the difference the lighting makes when it's just right. I think these look good, but are a little flat compaired to the one's with the right light. The last one is just as the good light was fading away.

Re: A Couple More Heron Pics
Flying birds are always tricky as it is usually necessary to obtain a compromise between over exposed highlights and dark shadows. Far too often the background is the 'wrong colour'; and there is frequently a shortage of thinking time.
The third photo is excellent with a good all round composition.

Re: A Couple More Heron Pics
A little flat? I think they all look just fine, and that's putting it mildly. I agree with Wendy, heck, I'd be beeming with pride if they were mine! Well done, again!
I actually like 1 the best. Against that background the bird in flight almost takes on a three dimensional appearance. Seems to pop right off my monitor.
