Great Blue Heron

Photographed outside (in the Everglades) near twilight with available

light. Any comments, please?

It isn't fair! Why I can't take pictures like this one? Very nice shot! I really like it!

 

Cheers! Rene'

Beautiful colours, precise depth of field, presentation and composition. A truly commendable shot. Well Done!

stunning photo of my favorite bird.This is not an easy task,as i`m sure you know Peter.These are shy birds.i like the dof,and the dark background.well done.6/6wish you a happy new photo year.keep it up.best regards

Thanks René, Stephen and Orvill. Actually this bird wasn't very shy (or maybe just too lazy to fly away). For the background (water), see the attached original photo (deault settings of Adobe's raw converter) and the description under "Technical Details".

you truly got a great result from that raw file.well done!
