I went to a local park to take a few flower photos this morning and spotted this great blue heron strolling along the shore line. I only had my 105 mm macro lens and was able to get close enough for this capture. sure wished I had carried my 50-500 mm lens along. You use what you have!

Sometimes you get lucky, this guy was very accommodating ;O)>.

You did well with this image. I think every photographer has been some place wishing they had a different lens with them. Thanks for sharing.

Good catch! A wee bit underexposed (see your histogram), but that's an easy fix.

You were lucky it tolerated you this close with a 105! I can never get close enough with a 300. :mad: A fine shot.
