Description
Breaking all the composition rules at once, but it's really all about the greens and blues!
I can't believe you are 75, but men always wear better than women unless they are rock musicians.
I wish you health and creativity and many more years of both!

Fantastic shot. I like the green and blue tones and especially the bird.

if you get delight and power, etc, then the rules work for you...I love the boldness of this shot, and Iove that bird! (everyone here's gonna know what bird this is, but not me) (he's "white") I love him just standing there amongst all the rushing waters; and the strict layers of your shot just work for me. And I like the lush vegetation back there, and he's centered right with that center tuft; and he's standing on---what---a coagulation of grasses and other river detritus. I really like that, Andrea And there's something funny about him, too---I mean this in a totally positive way: He looks like a comic actor trying to be serious. Maybe it's the slight 'smirk' in his beak...Well, it's wonderful, and wonderful for Bill: delightful and sweeping, which covers several of bill's fine traits. Also, (I have it from private sources) the bird was born on Long Island, and says "New Yawwk". Delightful piece, Andrea, for a delightful person. Happy Birthday, Bill!!
(and btw---I don't know if I wear age well, but 2 years ago, age came in the door, threw down its bags, moved in, and hasn't left since. And it doesn't offer rent, it doesn't clean up, it doesn't do ____...but from everything I know about Bill, he just defies age. I think he's younger, at 75, than I am at 66, and frankly it's very upsetting...)

Oh, the heck with the rules... you capture art as you see it...and this is fabulous! The greens and the blues to contrast the heron are to die for! Fabulous running water and his perch is perfect!

Those colours are amazing! I love that luminous water under the watchful heron. Gorgeous shot!

Joyeux anniversaire au milieu de cette agitation de couleur et de courant qu'est la vie...

Wow what a gorgeous picture/ the blues and greens are amazing.
Looks like the heron is posing for you.
Awesome camera work and beautiful Birthday didi for your friend Andrea.

You know what it is? Standing on that little rise he looks stranded. And the black patch on his head makes him look bald. A perfect image for Bill. Some humor, the big picture rather than close up detail (that's Tara) and a beautiful natural scene. Nice work.

Thanks Andrea. Yup, that's me...just standing around waiting for my next meal:-) I also like to keep my feet dry and my clothes neat just like this sleek heron. Well, my clothing standards have slipped a bit, from the old days of uniforms, suits, ties and shiny shoes, but blue jeans and flip-flops make for a better retirement wardrobe anyway. Loved all the comments above...but what's with Mark wysiwig's comment about the bird looking bald? I've still got a full head of hair. lol.

LOL! I'm thrilled to have come late to this party and got to see everyone's comments. :) I love the greens and blues of course ... all the layers of color ... it's totally satisfying to me. The bird is just a bonus!
Don't let Bill kid you. Even in jeans and a t-shirt, he looks terrific. I have pictures of him in uniform from "before," but he rocks retirement!! :)
