Steady hand, good useful photo, good vision, patience, good taste, talent, mastery ... forgetting something? A beautiful composition edited to perfection and a good role model! Thanks very much dear Jack! Muchos besos para hoy! Adela
Isn't it wild how the great blues look gray? I took several shots of one at a preserve and most of them were gray until I got around to a certain angle and the blue just popped. Well taken photo here Jack. You have good detail throughout and it has an overall warm feeling to it and the fresh scent of fall.
Congratulations. The comments above are spot-on. Amazing how seemingly complex a background/reflection can be so pleasing in such a simple, quiet photo. Love it.
I love herons - whatever they do they look great -. and sometimes like a clothes stand with a forgotten jacket.... - and in this picture with the warm reef background and the soft and silky reflection he looks great and pensive.
This is masterpiece quality, one to be proud of! I'm very fond of these hirsute herons, they have such an atmosphere of <Wise Men>, as if always meditating on deep topics!
