Hello John,
A beautiful image to a sad farewell.
We hope that the flight of Marek has led to a good place.

hej John!
to use Mareks own words to describe him "very interesting and oryginal" dude. He loved to travel and maybe he doing his longest journey now.
we could be herons just for one day.
Happy end....

Hi John,
A very fine photograph. The angle and the panning effect makes this rather like a work of art from Monet with a twist. A pleasure to see this. TFS. Murray.

I didn't know Marek, but a soaring bird is a perfect tribute.
Excellent framing

Hi John,
This bird is a fitting tribute to respected friend. I've tried many times to take a picture of herons but never with the success you show here; the sharpness and framing is excellent.

Hi John,
It would always be a good choice for paying homage to Marek, but it is even more suitable because it evokes his last post.
A beautiful image...
Regards, José.

So sad to hear about Marek's passing from you, John. This is a magnificent photograph that you have posted in his memory. Worthy of at least two points, but I haven't rated it per your request. Superb wildlife photography. Cheers . . . David

Hello John -

This is a greatly under appreciated image even for no points. I have to give the points John for a killer image. You nailed this one right on the money!!! I am so envious!

Thank you for sharing.
