Wonderful, fairytale-like picture. Moody and beautiful.
I love the different shades of white and gray. Very well composed.
Well seen, captured and presented.
Congrats :)

Very nice shot, but is it useful to have so much water, I'll see it with a little less? Good colors and wonderful reflect. Thanks, good job.

Très belle photo, mais est-ce qu'il est utile d'avoir tant d'eau, je la verrai avec un peu moins ? De bonnes couleurs et un merveilleux reflet. Merci, bon travail.

Nice shot! I love the egret and its reflection. If there was anything I'd change, I'd prefer the egret to be looking into the picture rather than out of it. I'm guessing from the lack of fine detail that you ran this through NeatImage? It's resulted in an almost painterly quality to the image. Well captured :-D

Very nice and simple shot, Mathias. I like the position of the bird and the reflection. I think you could imrove the colors, by playing with the contrast/brightness/saturation, but well done, anyway. I made a WS.

Very nice capture Mathias. The bird is beautifull. I have never seen such bird in real life. The reflection is lovely but the colour of the water is a bit faded. The colours of the bird is very nice i think, soft and hamronious.

A very interesting shot - I like the minimalism of it - the restricted dull colours, the empty space - I actually like all the water - and I like the off centre positioning of the heron. The image quality doesn't seem great - was this a crop from a bigger image? But the composition is great!

Oh yes, great capture. Very elegant! The beautiful bird melts into the water without disappearing, the texture in the water is intriguing and I really like the diagonal of the beachline.

"As penas da garça/
tão brancas, refletem/
todas as cores/
que os astros emitem..."
As garças têm graça! :-)
Sempre são um bom tema... Podes me dizer porque não centraste mais a bichinha? Havia algo na areia que não querias "pegar"? Por hora é só...

I love the soft tones of this photo. I like the water color texture. Well seen.

I did a WS and I hope you'll like it.
