How's that 5400mm lens working out for you?

Nice capture.

Beautiful detail and light on the heron, Ken! I also like the very realistic colors.

Interesting species, Ken, and nicely done. Given the appearance of the head and eye, looks like a cousin of our Green Herons on this side of the pond.

Did you mount that 5400 on a carriage, like field artillery?

Good simple post with excellent detail.

Like the low angle and soft light in this one Ken. Good work
