This is a very nice capture here of this fellow. I like everything about this work. You were very lucky to get this close even with a 300mm lens. Nice photo.

Willie you do it again. THE BIRDMAN OF FAR. Excellent presentation. The detail and color are off the chart. Center of interest is this gorgeous Heron. STory is awesome. Lighting is perfect. Well done my friend. Wish I had a 6.

Great shot. You captured him well. Don't you just love the times, when they sit still for you. Great colors and details. Like the way you placed him in the frame. Thanks for sharing a close up of this beautiful bird. Southernbelle

    Thank you so very much! Yes I like for them to hold still. If he only knew I mean it no harm!

Wow, you actually took a shot out of your car? Lol. I am amazed at the quality you achieve from inside your auto. This is a great shot, cropping is darn good, color is darn good, pose is darn good, out of focus background, darn good. Two thumbs up!

    Thank you so very much! This shot was not from the car but I shoot a very large amount from the car. You can get closer in the car.

This is really a great close up the heron. You must have been really thrilled to get so close. Your focus is pin sharp and the use of light is excellent. It is really nice and clear details in the image and the background is perfect. I like the darkened part at the top. The colors are nice and natural. I also like very much the placement of the bird within the frame and the tight cropping. Nicely composed with good balance and DOFF.
