Always first rate photographs from you Willie.
This one is excellent. Great focus and detail. How long before the ice melts?

Excellent focus and lighting really show the details on this fellow. Totally new pose of a heron- I haven't seen one standing with his wings out, maybe it's for balance on the ice.

Comment from Yukondick


the bird man strikes again. Nice catch with your usual good exposure and sharp focus. Nicely composed. Would have been nice had he actually taken off. Like your background giving good separation.

Another great heron picture, Willie! He is definitely showing off for you! I love that you caught him so brilliantly, giving us a great look at a fine feathered beauty.

Great composition, and story elements. Lovely setting, and I know you were cold, catching the pictures! I think it was worth it, another great one! Bev

    Thank you so very much! I was too interested in what was going on to be cold!

    I know what you mean ~ I've been pretty cold too, but didn't want to give up the fun! Maybe we'll get some warmer days here!

I like this photo very much. The lighting and details are really good. DoF and colors are really good. Like the way he has his wings spread out like he is getting ready to take off. This is an excellent photo of this Great Blue Heron. Thanks for sharing this beautiful heron. Southernbelle

A nice crisp and interesting shot. I like the view of his feet, and watchful eye. The blues really show him off. Donkeyoatey
