A very different shot of one of my favourite subjects. The bird stands out really well from the dark background. A little more space to the left would be a bonus but that is a very minor nitpick of an excellent image.

Hi Guy,
I think this is very nice indeed.
The contrast between the bird and darker surroundings is excellent and I like his perch too which adds an extra element of interest.

Congratulations on two counts by the looks of it. It didn't take you long to put that monster to good use. :wink:
Love this shot, the bird is really set off well by the dark BG and the perch is great (I am a big fan of well-chosen man-made perches)

I'm not a fan of heron but the surroundings make this shot for me.

Great shot of what is often a difficult subject always a challenge for me.
