It's what's for Dinner - Fish
Whilst out watching and shooting Ospreys, this Great Blue Heron was happy to stand around and fish - don't think he even noticed me!.
Canon 20D, 100-400mmL IS, on tripod.

Two more versions below too ;).

Different light, different pose!.

Wow, the differing light makes this look like two different birds! They're both incredible. I like the light and pose in #1, and the reflection in #2.

I love the first one! The reeds make a perfect backdrop.

NIck, nice capture! Really like the colors and crisp image.

Here's one more in similiar light to #1.

Nice job Nick! I like both images, though the light really makes a difference between them.

I much prefer the light in #2. Great reflection.

Nice work, Nick. I love the pose in #1 and the reflection in #2. #1 reminds me a bit of a Japanese painting.

I like the last one you posted, but I also really, really like #2. The reflection and the color of the light is very interesting.

Nick, look at you! I think you've found a new niche. Really fantastic shots. :toast:

Beautiful work!
The background works so well in showing off this regal bird. The third is my favorite.

Very cool, Nick!

Very nice, Nick! I like them all, hard to decide which one I like best. I like the pose in the 1st one, but I love the reflection in the 2nd. Also, I like the color of light better in the 2nd one, too. So I guess my favorite is # 2. :smile:
Posted by Don Grall on June 17, 2009 at 4:49 AM
Sweet light on all three, particularly like #3. Well done!
Posted by D J Kuklinski on June 18, 2009 at 12:33 AM
Very cool! They are all wonderful, but # 3 gets my vote.
Posted by Stan Rose on June 18, 2009 at 4:17 AM
All are nice, but ill give the nod to #3, i like that pose.
Posted by Dan Walters on June 20, 2009 at 6:12 PM
Great shots! I like the light and the reflection in the second image. I also like how you included a lot of the vegetation.
Posted by Morris McClung on June 20, 2009 at 7:11 PM
All of them are just fantastic! Wow, the light is sumptuous. And your captures of the poses are brilliant. Just an incredible job, Nick.
