Angela, that's a beautiful photograph. Great sharpness for handheld with TC on.

Really nice Angela. Love the fluffed look of the heron. Nice habitat too. Very interesting seeing the cacti.

Very nice work for hand held from a boat, especially with so much focal length.

Looks like it was a tad windy Angela, which adds great drama to the pose. Nice work-especially handheld from a floating platform.

Lots of great parts here.. The "fluffed' plumage, the interesting setting/environment, expert comp..need I say more?
Very good work HH from a boat Angela, I've not even tried that yet. Hard to believe, I know
Well done

Nice job in getting this shot, I like the fluffed up look and IQ looks very good in larger image, way to go.

Probably the most frequently posted species Angela and this one stands head and shoulders above the rest - just stunning. Great setting, detail, ruffled feathers ..... well done

Love the pose with the ruffled feathers - nice habitat shot, and fine detail for handheld from boat. Hold the camera very tight, though!
No more dunkings, I hope!

Glad to see I'm not the only one having a bad hair day. Excellent capture Angela, especially considering its a HH 500mm shot from a boat. Great stuff!
