I agree with Jules. Love the detail on the bird and the blurred BG. Lovely colors.

Wunnaful, jez wunnaful! They are hard to shoot here in Maine as they ware quite wary if approached. They are also gone now, migrated. So, there’s a limited window to get them. Nice work.

What a shot! I’m envious. I’ve not been able to get close enough for a good shot of one of them.

Really nice portrait, Ed! I especially love the horizontal banding in the BG against the vertical plumage of the bird. Very nice!

A great shot, Ed. This is the best close up look I have ever had of a heron.

Wonderful Heron portrait, Ed. I like the details in the feathers and the background which evokes a feeling of movement. It must’ve been wonderful experience to be so close.

Wonderful image Ed! You were fortunate to be able to get so close. These guys always seem very skittish when I’ve photographed them.
