    Thank you so very much! I will be glad when the chicks hatch. I hope to get some of them being fed!

This is a nice shot of a heron landing upon her nest. The action seems frozen in time. The photograph has terrific contrast with the deep blue sky as the background. The angle of the shot is good. The focus is sharp.

The focus is perfect. So lucky to have this in your backyard. You certainly were in the right time and the right place.The action is so good and you did not touch anything up. Love phot0s like this.

Willie your 300mm was pushed to the limit with this shot, however it did come out quite well. Very good shutter speed. The movement of the Heron is stopped in action quite well. It looks as if he is just landed on the small tree. There is very good detail in the tips of his wings and the curvier of his neck. Bummer about his beak behind the branch, but it don't spoil the shot, just would have been nice to see it all. Very nice Willie.

Comment from Stacey Nagy


This is a nice capture, and well placed within the frame. I know that when opportunities present themselves, we can't always help the existing conditions. But, this is so dark, you are loosing what it is you are trying to show. It maybe could be lightened in editing if there is any details in the darkness. But it is still a once in a lifetime type of capture.
