I caught this one gliding across this small winter pond. My first post, so I would welcome comments and critiques. Mostly cropped and dehazed the original.

The heron and reflection are gorgeous, but I personally would've cropped the left half of the image out, I find it distracting. Great action shot, make the heron what the eye goes to, not the bushes on the left. Too great a shot to not draw the eye right to it.

Ken, I like the photo. A DDL (Double Down Level) shows how sharp it is and it allows one to view the details.

Was hoping that by including the open space in front of the heron I could induce more of a sense of movement. Single photos like this cannot capture the beauty of his flight across the water.
