Humorous shot, Pilot. Good setting with nice subject (and supporting cast). Composition is very good and the colors seem nice. Pity it is overexposed with numerous clipping points... Perhaps this could be somewhat improved by superimposing some compatible texture detail in the area of the rocks? Thanks for sharing, ~Jon

Hello Pilot..The framing and composition is good...The pic is also overexposed and if you use some minus exposure compensation on the camera it would darken the photo and increase your shutter speed..It might also be beneficial to increase your ISO which would also increase your shutter speed to prevent picture blur..Thanks for sharing.

Hello John, I thought I haven't used the Minus EV, on the contrary, I may forget to cancel the Plus EV. Anyway, thanks a lot for your feedback, regards, Pilot.

Pilot, This is over exposed but very fixable. If you shot RAW just reprocess. If not there are a number of ways to corrected this in Photoshop. The easiest way is to duplicate the layer and change the blend mode on the top layer to multiply. This will then be a little on the dark side, just reduce the opacity on this layer to give you good color. This is slightly out of focus: the water behind the Heron is sharper: A good fix for this is to selectively sharpen the foreground, and slightly blur the water. Excellent composition with the right timing! 1.5 rounded up. Keep shooting and thanks for sharing, Gary

Nice timing but it's overexposed. This has caused the colour to be bleached out and very poor contrast. You could try and rectify in in processing but I'm not sure you'd have held enough detail for a satisfactory result.

Thank you so much for your points Andrew. I just kept in mind to shoot but forgot the "overexposure". Regards, Pilot.

Pilot, its nice photo, taken just in time. It has good framing and fine background. Just as previous friends said, it suffers over exposing. I think resubmitting in B&W and increasing contrast may help. Sure that beautiful goldfish could not be seen in gold! Regards, Mehrdad

I thought the "stones" may reflect some lights and made it an overexposured effect. Many thanks for your feedback Mehrdad, regards, Pilot.

Good composition, all the animals are at a good place. But the lighting was not so good, to much places in the picture with (to) white spots. That's a pity.

Bwahahahaha.... Oh, that's a great capture, with the heron proudly showing off his catch and turtles looking up at the heron as if to say "give us a taste".... Even the fish seems to be adding a comment. It's a touch over-exposed (look at the whites on the heron's head and on the rocks), but I'm not in quibbbling mode at the moment.
