birds Great Blue Heron

This shot required gaining the trust of the Heron. I crept ever so slowly,

stopping for a few minutes and taking a few shots before moving a few

feet further. The bird was behind some reeds that were moving, so I

used a longer shutter speed to eliminate their movement. Thanks for

looking. Canon 100-400L/IS.

Do you mean "fast shutter speed"?

Really clear shot considering you were shooting through grass. Nice detail and lighting.

Sorry, didn't explain that well. There were reeds moving in front of the heron despite getting as close as I could. So, I used a long shutter speed to blur them as the wind kept moving them around, and voila, they disappeared.
