Another great Bittern image Oscar, really gives meaning to the word "skulking". The OOf green plants add to the feeling of being in the water with it.

Lovely shot and a wonderful natural hazy setting which really makes it special

A cracking series of a very difficult subject, I feel the OOF grasses enhance the images still further. Your low positioning is still a key factor.
