Black Crowned Night Heron at the Dallas rookery. Light was dim, hence the very slow shutter speed. Got away with it, I think. Thank heaven for IS. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice clear shot and a good pose, Jerry. To my eye, the bird looks just the slightest bit soft. A touch more sharpening would really make it pop, I think.

A very wary subject at all times. Where is the rookery located
Gotta love those big feet and the breeding plumage.. the 1/15 sec may have an effect on sharpness.

great pose and nicely tuck in to the perch, large version shows lack of sharpness, other that very nice with sweet colors, well done

Jerry,
Whilst I know that the 100-400mm is not the sharpest, I think I would have opened it up to get a faster shutter speed, as I think the very low speed has resulted in some movement blur
