Great Blue Heron Fly By

A very nice and sharp image of heron in flight against a beautiful background , ciao Giangiorgio

Outstanding capture Brian! I really like the positioning of the wing showing all of the feather details, and the golden water is such a beautiful backdrop. Well done! Todd

Thank you Todd and Giangiorgio. This was a lucky shot. I was down one one knee trying to get a still shot and I was in one shot focus so I could not track the bird. He/she suddenly flew and I just quickly aimed over my shoulder as I spun and hoped for the best. The bird flew in and out of the shade and the yellow is the afternoon sun reflecting on the water. Things just went well that day. My dog even sat at my side and did not try to move during this. That is a rarity in itself. Be safe.

As Giangiorgio said, sharp image, great background. Kind regards, Franz

Thank you Franz. Just a lucky shot this time.

Whaaaaah ! What an extraordinary shot ! Deserves a worldwide prize ! Incredible sharpness, and superb contrat between the warm water tones and the cooler tones of the bird.... I imagine the eye of the photographer to be as sharp as the bird's...
