Grey Heron, Hosehill Lake
This is an image I took on Sunday when I made one of my all too rare early morning (I am not a morning person! :wink:) excursions to a local nature reserve. This is a crop of about 70% of the original. Comments are as always welcome. The technical details are:

- Aperture: f7.1
- Shutter Speed: 1/640s
- ISO: 400

Many thanks for looking
Adrian

Very nice indeed.I like the downward wing positions as it shows just how close to the water surface the bird is flying.Like the partial reflection and the composition is excellent. :toast:
