Heron , photographed at Old Moor this morning , the reserve has changed quite a bit since my last visit just after the floods , the two new sections of reed bed allow for quite close views of the many species of duck and wader.

Levels , Usm ( 100,1.0,1 x2 ) , Brightness , Cropped and a few objects cloned from the foreground.

Canon 40D , 500F4IS , Gitzo1325 , Wimberley v2

Very pretty and great pose, water looks superb for reflections, could you have done two shots and photomerged? Would've been an extra long skinny photo eh.

Hi Tim,

Yeah , it would have been an extreme pano , its a shame because the reflection was full length and perfectly clear , never mind eh

, hope your feeling better.

Hi Andrew, such a shame about missing out on a reflection like this.... still a nice shot though, although whites look pretty hot on my work monitor. Would have maybe stopped down the aperture a bit with that shutter speed?
