This dam is near Grand Rapids, Ohio, a little southwest of Toledo. There was a blue heron wandering around in the water, but with so much sunlight in front of me, he turned out as nothing more than a silhouette. Thanks for the comments and views.

Nice lines in this and all the more interesting with the heron.

It still looks good JimboB. Those blue herons have a tendency to look a lot alike anyway. I really like the mood of this. It speaks lazy. Water pouring over the dam and the Egret waiting for a fish to swim by. This dam belongs in Mayberry.
Good lines and the dam lets your eyes wander to the backside of the photo. Colors are good.
Nice post.

What a nice shot and great angle. Relaxing scene. It must be quite a ways across this dam. The clear sky makes the water look more blue. Very nice capture.

Especially good to view on a hot day like today! I like the way your eye is drawn to the horizon by the line of the dam.

I like that the heron is silhouetted. I also like how it gives a perception of the size of the dam, and I agree with Tick about how the angle draws the eye to the trees in the background :D

I really like your photo, and the silhouette of the blue heron. If we could see the heron more I think it would take your eye away from the rest of your beautiful shot. It was meant to be, very nice work.

Come over to the dark side, we have cookies. :)
He looks great in silhouette. Hard to take a pic with sun in front of you, but seems you had no trouble at all.

To achieve an even better image than this one already is, think you have to spend some money Jimbob, not for buying a new lens, but for buying some fish. Will give you probably (have anyhow some doubts) a better close-up of the heron. If this attempt doesn't succeed, you can eat the fish at your own dinner, lol.
Was just kidding, good post my friend.

Cornelius was here either to enjoy your image or say 'thank you' for your interest in my gallery. In the first case, please CLICK HERE to see my work!
The clever guy knows that with the overflow comes also the fish. Nice scene with the foaming water and the row of trees at the back.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Excellent angle Jim. Very well done shot.

A Dam good shot of the Dam, Jimbo. Maybe you could get some fishing lessons from that Blue Heron. They aways seem to know where the good fishing spots are. Excellent work.

Enjoy nature, Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints
I see the Heron in the water just fine and so impressed with how much you captured how wide the Providence Dam is. You are a true Artist my friend.

Oh, I've been there. Love the action of the water and the depth in this capture Jimbob. Beautiful colours and love the way the heron is in silhouettes.

Great lines and s super comsposed piece. Love the eyes being carried to the back of the image. Looks like a nice, lazy place to be. My kind of place.

Hey Jim, I like how he is silhouetted against the fast moving waters. I think it is fine image. Good capture! ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=
