Stealth Hunter - Grey Heron
Photograph of a Grey Heron hunting as the sun was coming up,I watched as this bird remained still with its neck stretched out for some time,not a single movement,it was amazing to watch and I had time to turn my camera to portrait format to capture that very scene here with this photo.

Excellent Craig. I really like the composition and portrait format. Catching the ealy morning sun has certainly paid dividends, with this image. Very well captured indeed. :smile:

Difficult to do something different with this bird Craig but the lovely pink light and wavey reflection does that well for me.
Lovely shot

Craig, I like this a lot. I have hundreds of GH images but this is special, the pose, reflection and colours in the water from the early morning sun all combine to make this one special.

Well done :smile:
