 South Florida Waste Water Reclamation Dept. and Palm Beach County Recreation Dept. teamed up to create several wetland nature reserves. The wildlife moved in, and the bird watchers, photographers, walkers, parents, children and grandparents, school and camp groups, all enjoy the beauty of the wetlands and the wildlife. And the waste water is treated and recycled naturally. It's a win, win, win project.

This is a young Tricolor Heron that was born here at Wakodahatchee Wetlands.

This looks like it could be used as an ad for this project. Love the clarity of the bird and the fact that it's the only one in the scene. I think it would be cool if our wetland areas would do stuff like this and provide more access to the public. Cool shot.

Composition feels a bit unbalanced, but I still like the birds poise and the focus.

Nice image here, but an image really should stand on it's own to fit the theme of the challenge, without a title. The viewer/voter has no way to know what is any different about that water. Perhaps if a sign was in the shot or something similar, then it would tell the story. As it is, without the title, It's just a nice shot, but doesn't meet the challenge.
On a side note, it looks like maybe a touch too much noise reduction was used, as seen in the feathers - they lack detail/texture.

Without your title, there's no visible connection to the challenge. It is a cool looking shot, though.

what a cool bird - i like how you composed this to have the bird looking across the water - with good focus on the eye.
