Found two Great Blue Herons patiently waiting by a fisherman for scraps. Turned my head three more strategically placed, were watching nearby in the dunes.
Oh sweet another dandy Heron, & this one's waiting patiently for a fish supper .. bless. (o:
I'm really enjoying your Heron uploads Liz please keep em coming I love them all.
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
He's sharp, the background is nicely soft, he stands out great. It's a strong call you've made comp wise but I think it works, all the beach to the left gives a sense of space and place, context.
Now you have a Heron with an attitude....But you have sure captured this oh so well. Beautiful work and I love that you have given him space to "look" and for the viewer to "look" with him. Great post.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Great lighting and detail on this capture Elizabeth.I see them along the mill race near where I work but they always see me before I can get close enough for a good shot.
I like the way the composition becomes more than the bird.
Your framing and lines add another dimesion to a good photo
of a heron. It is like the millions of flower shots we see.
There are pictures of flowers and then there are compostions
of flowers. It is all about the thought going into the image.
Great image. 76 c-index should be 'even' higher. Great colour saturation and depth of field make it a wonderfully luminescent and sharp image. Really good effort!!!
