Great Blue Heron Environment
One of my favorite species and so so canny tried a waterbourne approach in an effort to capture environment.

Canon 1D3 sigma 50mm-500mm 1/400 sec ISO250 500mm f/7.1 RAW CS3 resized for posting.

Advice and Critique most welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Barry :wink:

For sure a nice environmental image of this heron. I would probably try to eliminate the oof branches on the right hand side of the image , very nice indeed

a nice shot Barry, I agree that removing the OOF branches might help. I also think I might prefer the bird to be just very slightly more to the left. But these are very minor nits :)

Good looking enviro image but feel you do need to get rid of the OOF branches as already mentioned.
