Motion blur Heron
This was taken after the clouds had come over and it was nearly dark. I thought I would experiment and use a slow shutter speed - what do you think?

You did a fine job Oscar. I like to see the head sharp.

Technique looks really good Oscar. However the strong edge created by the border between the land and the water spoils it for me.

These are very hard to pull off . Great effort and well done in having a bash and trying something different.

I like the angle and the patterns in the water...different is good!
