Gone fishing...
Taken on the last morning, about 9.15am.

We could see a 'Tiger' walking towards us, but you are allotted a route and must stick to it, come what may. So we parked up in anticipation on where he/she might pop out, thinking that a nice refreshing stream might be the right location. Sadly the Tiger did not oblige, but this rather friendly Striated Heron provide a nice little show instead :smile:

Hi Steve,

Interesting heron type, I like the pose and love the bg,and personally would 'tidy' the branches a bit in PS by cloning them away, but I know not everyone approves.

Great capture - by you and the bird! In addition to what Paula said, maybe trim a bit top and right for web presentation?

Hi Steve - cracking capture :toast:

I'd lose some of the dead space at the top and right as per Jeremys comment just to finish it off :wavey:

Looks very nice to me Stephen, nice clean background. Fish doesn't look very appetising does it? Nice shot.

Thanks Eric, but I think it is sustainable fish :biggrin:
