Looks like a very
unlikely pair, but however
they got together doesn't matter. It's a beautiful
scene.
I especially love the green
water which looks like it has been painted. Has it?
Thanks for sharing

Great capture of the heron and the duck . Good lighting, excellent composition, color, and sharp focus. I like the DOF and the background, like great angle and nice frame. Well done.

I think I would have cut some of the water (?) off of the top of this photograph... must all of the (sharp!) focus is on the lower part.

I do like that you said it was a windy day... that made me look more closely at the heron feathers... yes, indeed -- that is great detail.

What's with the chicken wire? (That can't be good for aquatic birds.)

Beautiful capture! Love that ripple in the b/g. Beautiful clarity, lighting and detail. Really nice to see two different birds together. It looks like some kind of wire in the water that can be dangerous for the birds. A very wonderful photo!

Such an unusual shot. Usually the heron is on its own and looking very elegant. Love how you have it with the duck and looking all windswept.

"Beautiful beyond description." Love your lighting and exposure, is just perfect. Very defined details, especially the heron's eyes and plumage. Excellent color contrast. This is one of your BEST. Well captured and a joy to view.

Well done. The lighting on the bird is almost perfect and so is the clarity of the photo. Your framing is nice as well. You did a great job on this photo :)

Looks like a windy day or the heron is having a bad feather day! lol An interesting pair of birds neither of which is paying any attention to the other. Nice sharp photo and a fun view Fred. Good photo!

Comment from Capture This


Love the angle of the Heron and other duck in view. Great details and angles. The Heron looks great and all wet and ruffled up looking. Sharp!!

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


Stunning capture, seems the wind brings company to stand it - a really outstanding shot as both are so neat together unusual to see

beautiful presentation, well framed , fantastic content even a great item for environmental questions as what we see they use to sit on is not very natural and rather a danger for their fragile legs

handsome color range, this green water is spectacular and the entire scene looks like a huge storm ambiance - kind like survivors f Armaggedon - your contrast and lighting is very unusual, super general impact , a striking shot, fantastic focus and exposure, super sharp, excellent job, xoxoxo
