Wow, I really like this shot. The detail is wonderful, and everything looks good. But what I like even more than the detail, colour, light, and composition (although I thought all those aspects were given good treatment here) and all those other aesthetics, is the "emotional" effect this image has. You can almost sense the immature innocence of the heron, and you can almost feel his timidity in crossing the sunken log. Congratulations on a very nice shot - Mike.
