The lighting conditions at this spot were very poor, so I had to do a lot of post-editing work to achieve a reasonable result.

Hope you'll like this image anyhow. Thank you in advance for your comment.

Ah, maar wat een heerlijke sfeer straalt hiervan uit. Soms zijn foto's die wat minder gunstig belicht zijn daardoor wat minder 'scherp' en juist zachter. Persoonlijk wint deze foto daardoor schoonheid. Editing werk verdiend zeker ook een compliment! Mich

Cornelius - A very nice 'environment' photo - capturing the heron in its natural state. The colors and reflections are very effective. You did some fine editing to enhance the lighting in this photo. As always - very well done! Thad

You have done an excellent job with the editing, Mr. C. The lighting looks very nice now, and the reflections are really good. I love that heron, and I love the golden tones on the water. Very nice image.

Weet natuurlijk niet hoe de 'onbewerkte' foto er uit zag,
maar gezien deze opname heb je er een knap staaltje
werk van gemaakt !
Neem aan dat je er zelf ook zeer tevreden over bent, want anders had je het vast niet geplaatst !
Ten 2e het geeft voldoening voor jezelf, en het is nog
leuk werk ook !
Groet !

I don't know what editing you have done, Cornelius, but the result is excellent. I like the reflection of the heron and the colour of this water. A well composed beautiful image!

You sure caught a doozy here C. What a great shot. The water looks so bright and almost golden for being muddy. How wonderful it is when you stumble upon something like this and you have your camera. Great post.
Good health to you and yours.

The best capture of lighting I have seen in awhile Cornelius. The heron is a sneaky little devil.
