Quite different from the previous one, a world of grass is now a world of shimmering liquid blue.I love the effect of the light on the water- makes the image animated. Regards. Klaudio.

Nice job. I really like blue. You got a nice profile of the heron as well. I love all the sparkles from this backlit angle. Regards, TW
