Hola Gerrit.
I agree with Maria, your shot looks like a painting, wonderful composition with the boats and the heron in between. I don't know what you did to get such beautiful colors but it's a superb work.
Well done. TFS.
Wish you a nice weekend.

Hi Gerrit,
Uitstekende foto van deze reiger in het midden van de composition. Met zijn witte veren steekt hij mooi af tegen de achtergrond met de warme(re) kleuren van de boot. De spiegeling van het licht in de rustige golven is ook prachtig. Goed gezien en heel mooi fotowerk! Bedankt!
Groeten,
Lars

Hi Gerrit. wonderful warm colours that convey the heat and mood of the tropics. Even the heron is wearing bright yellow shoes for the shot. Well seen. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Gerrit,
A pretty composition with great colours and textures. The reflections of the water on the side of the boats gives it a painterly effect. Excellent sharpness.

Hi Gerrit. He looks a little out of place here but I guess he doesn’t mind as log there are fish to eat ;-). Well captured. Good colours and details. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Hi Gerrit

A nice detail of the fishing boats, with the added bonus of the centrally placed heron. Tfs!

Bonjour, cher Gerrit,
Le héron blanc est en attente de sa proie ! j'aime l'environnement et les couleurs dispensées par ces vieilles coques et les reflets qui dansent avec le mouvement des vagues.
Une composition originale et bien pensée.
Amitiés.
Philippe

It was hard to figure this out at first as I thought the line where the boat sits on the water was a distant horizon. I guess the zoom really brought the background right in. The result is very good. I particularly like the sheen and reflections on the water, and of course the heron. Well done

This is very well seen, Gerrit. Excellent frame in very pretty colors, it would have been worked even without the bird; with it - it's just perfect. Regards, Daniel

Hallo Gerrit,

Deze reiger is precies een witte koe reiger, wat we hier ook regelmatige eentje kunnen bewonderen, mooi vogels ook.
Het klein beetje beweging in het water en wat rimpels veroorzaakt zorgt voor een goed contrast tegen de felle kleuren van de boot.
Mooi gedaan Gerrit.

Prettige zondag,
John.

fulvio52 (8314) 2008-07-06 11:04

Hoi buurtje,
zeer origineel, grappig, en schitterend gekleurd!
Perfecte timing en kadrage, heel good gezien.
Ik wens je nog een fijne zondagavond.
De groeten uit de Czaar Peter,
Fulvio.

atus (15476) 2008-07-06 16:55

Hi Gerrit,
I like how you captured the heron among all those things. The harsh light is well managed and the sharpness is great here. Very well done!
Tfs and best wishes.
Attila

trekks (14334) 2008-07-07 3:19

hi Gerrit

I really have to look very closely to study all the details in this shot, and seeing a man in shadow and much features on the boats. The bird is only part of the picture.

tfs, bill

Hi Gerrit.
J'aime cette composition avec ce héron comme imbriqué entre les embarcations et l'eau. Le couleurs sont chaudes et la lumière très belle.

alvaraalto (5303) 2008-07-07 12:28

Hallo Gerrit,

Een schitterende bijna abstracte horizontale compositie.
Grappig om te zien dat deze reiger er ook met plezier naar kijkt.

groet Rob

Hi Gerrit
Looks like a painting at first glance! Love the reflection of the water on the white part of the boat & the ripples in the FG. Good work!

What a mess! :) Love this abstract composition, Gerrit. It's full of light and colors and it's a pleasure to discover the heron in the middle of this chaotic arrangement.

Hi Gerrit!
Good shot of this nice bird.Great POV and I like a lot the colorful background and the fine details at the fishingboats.
Regards,Leo

Docarmo (8856) 2008-07-15 9:02

Hi Gerrit,
Interesting graphism on this picture, with this heron like a statue there. Good choice of composition!
Here, where I live, quite often we see one of its "cousins", the great blue heron. Usually it remains really like a statue on the river rocks, waiting for the prey. Amazing visual and acoustic impact when it starts flying and crying, it seems a prehistoric monster ;-)
Thanks for sharing,
MCV

Bluejeans (33153) 2008-07-19 2:34

Ola Gerrit,
Ficou linda esta tua foto parece uma pintura gostei muito das cores saturadas , o pássaro ficou magnifico , bom contraste de cores, parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

josevescovi (1660) 2008-11-26 10:24

Gosto muito deste estilo de foto que valoriza o detalhe gráfico em detrimento do todo. Esta foto é de especial qualidade por sua composição gráfica e efeito de cores e reflexo. Fantástica.

mikolaj_kawa (31391) 2009-01-10 3:26

Hello Gerrit! Amazing heron, wonderful boats. Ideal POV and composition. Perfect capture. Original shot. Good luck!
