Thank you. Β  Β All credit goes to the heron since he posed for several hours, making composition easy.

Nice catch! You caught him doing something besides standing motionless...
Nice subdued light and quite a pretty background too.

I'm still wondering what he was doing, but it was certainly nice of him to show off like that. Β

Thanks! Β I don't remember why he ruffled up. Β He was in that spot for at least an hour, and very statuesque. Β Not skittish at all, unlike the herons in these parts.

Awesome shot! I can never get a heron on "film". They always fly away before I get them in focus! XD

Thank you! Β It is usually difficult to get herons to stick around for a portrait, but there are some places that they seem to feel safe. Β And this was one of them. Β Florida is another. Β But where I live in Wyoming they are quite skittish.
