Love the intensityof this guy's stare! He looks like he means serious business. The stance is wonderful as is the lighting and DOF. Could never understand why they call the Great Blue Heron blue when he's gray or the Green Heron green when he looks blue? LOL

I think you cptured this guy at just the right moment. I love the shot!

Good Luck in the Contest!

Nice capture. Great colors and clarity. I like how the background is blurred making the bird really stand out. Hope he got his dinner. Good luck in the contest.
