Hi All,

One from last night over the river, when the Heron strayed to close to the Rookery. They flew into the setting sun giving almost a silhouette type of image, so decided to convert to BW. to be honest not to sure about it, but always find it amusing that a massive bird like a Heron is chased away by a Rook!!

All comments welcome

Regards

Hi Rob - if you've got a big tele shot of the setting sun you could do a comp of this, might look really cool.

The Rooks defend their nesting sites with vigour and aren't afraid to tackle larger species. It can get some interesting encounters.

Hi Rob,

I seem to remember that was what the not so friendly farmers round your way said!

Anyhow I really like the silhouette effect here and the branches help to add an 'anchor' and scale.
