Description
Years ago I saw something like this, looking out of the window, travelling by train in my country Denmark: At some point the train drove alongside a small brook, almost hidden by reeds and crooked overhanging trees. In one of the trees, I spotted a heron, lurking for prey in the water. Just a short glimpse, but great anyway :)
Normally you'd expect to see a heron standing in low water, but this one had found a perfect spot with great overview, and somewhat hidden as well.

Have a nice day

Superb render! Great view under the trees as well as through them, and the river is perfect. Good fishing to you!

Great work! We have a pond near our house that has a resident heron and we see him do stuff like this all the time- so I know your render is spot on ;)

Fantastic work Lars! It's really an inspiring experience to catch a glimpse of these birds in the wild. You have really captured and recreated your experince. Excellent work BTW!

Great light and wildlife scene.

Magnificent work, as usual. The vegetation is top notch, very realistic and diversified. The heron is a great detail (and located in the exact place according to the golden section rule :-)). The only little thing I don't like much is the hill on the top left corner. It seems too "naked" compared with the excellency of the rest, it just doesn't match, IMO. I think some more clouds only would have been better for this area. It's only my opinion. :-) Again, excellent work.

Really nice scene. Excellent lighting, vegetation and reflections! Great work!

Very nice work. Has the feel of real thick underbrush. You can hear the cicadas in the trees and the crickets in the brush.

This is really wonderful and if you hadn't mentioned you had seen the heron hunting in that manner, I would have wondered. Beautiful image.

Masterfully done. Great rendering of a sunny day. Superb shadow work

Very beautiful! I love how the stream bends around and becomes hidden in the grasses. The tree the heron is perched upon was made perfectly for him.

Wonderful snapshot you placed into your mind...And as wonderful is your ability now to bring it back to life! Great Job Lars.
