Wow! How close can you get to see the finest facial details & smooth plumage textures...

Perfect timing!
Just the best compact framing.
Best illumination.
I like the Tiffany green-colored, odd numbered eggs!

You were at the right moment with the right subject!

More of these please.....

Wonderful - you captured Nature at its best here. Crisp, clear lines, beautiful positioning, and lovely close up detail. The lines of the nest material anchor the shot well. Great stuff.

I love the storytelling with the heart warming capture of female Heron tending to her eggs. Superb eye clarity.....just draws us right into your photography. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your wide aperture has rendered the background recognizable and given us a view of her habitat. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

A very fine close up. The heron turning the eggs makes for an interesting behavioral shot. The composition is very good and the colors are excellent.

Hi Barbara , this is such a special moment you have captured, this mother tri colored heron in her nest with her three beautiful blue eggs, this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones are beautiful and appear natural. Well composed and presented!

KODAK MOMENT ALERT LEVEL 10 !!! You've certainly captured this Mama in a Kodak Moment Barbara. God couldn't be everywhere so he created Mothers ----- and bill collectors. Keep them coming.
