I like the reference above to Monet - this photo really does have an impressionistic quality. Its lovely and soft with pretty pastel colours. I love how the reflection is almost exactly the same - its hard to know which is real and which isnt!

My youngest son says 'This is simply fantastic' and that's exactly what I thought too. I would be so pleased to have got this one! Instead I'm stuck with dang seagulls on a post ;o). Very well done - hope you have some more in the series!

I think for this one I would have liked a tad more contrast - but it's a lovely shot just as it is.

@dobbino: Yes thanks It is a bit flat. This isn't a RAW image but have done a few more and like what I can do with it. Thanks Rob

Awesome, Debbie. I came at things the wrong way, viewing tomorrow's image prior to this, but no matter.... both are stunning

Looking at this lovely shot, I am reminded how many varieties of heron there are . . we each think our local ones are the defining type!
