Captured some more herons this morning. Not quite as active, but I captured a couple of images. Thanks for looking.

As usual, outstanding images Dan!

Lovely stuff, Dan. I'm thinking a tighter crop on #1 would emphasize the bird more. I love the simplicity of #2.

Both are excellent. I agree on the tighter crop on #1.

Beautiful Dan. Nice work.

Both are pro caliber shots.
I especially like the reflection of the bird in the water and the reflection of the water on the bird. That is way cool!!

Dan, your shots turned out terrific! Love the golden colors in #1 and I am fine with the crop because the colors are terrific. Beautiful flight shot as well!

These are both really nice Dan, great light and detail!.

Incredible Dan! #1, you just can't get much better than this.

Thanks for the comments!

love them both although I agree with a tighter crop on # 1.

I love the golden colors and the reflection of #1. Nicely done on both!

Both are excellent! #1 is art.

Posted by Jeff Hackett on April 4, 2010 at 8:59 PM

Both are excellent as usual, but I really like #1. I like how more of the habitat is included.

Another "both of them" vote. Very good stuff. I think the crop on #1 to emphasize the bird is a good suggestion.

Great shots, Dan. And by the way,I like 1 the way it is, showing its environment, rather than cropping any tighter.
