Another image from my trip to Ft.DeSoto Beach in April. This shot with flash well before the sun broke the horizon as the heron emerged from under the mangrove.

Excellent. I like the overall dark feel of this - very appropriate for these birds.

VERY well done Chuck, as others have indicated. Well exposed and looks super natural even with the added flash.

Excellent shot. I like the raised leg pose and excellent use of fill.

The dark surroundings are excellent and the heron stands out well, nice work.
