I love a touch of humor. The appearance of the Headless Horseman bird is a clever use of an otherwise photo, The lighting and technical aspects of the shot are good and well lit. I am sure the heron would like a copy of the photo for his den.

Fred,
Another Grey Heron seen from the back it's head hidden as it either preens it's breast or is bending towards the lake searching for food. If it's head was missing it would be"Falling out of it's Standing!"
Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp.
Susan

    merci suzanne, but you're wrong: it is much easier to keep one's body right without the heavy head....

    The Heron 's head is not as heavy as a human 's their bones are very light.

Wonder why they leave their head at home while hunting for mates. Come to think of it I used to do that in my heydays!:) The light, and the composition have worked well and you have caught the headless heron very well. Good effort.

Comment from Jodi Kay


I am not inderstanding why you did not wait a minute to capture this bird without it being "headless". the image itself has fine detail but the execution in composition is lacking patience.

    he has no head: it was eaten by a crocodile!

    This could have been an amazing image if you would have just waited a second so it wasn't "headless" just be patient.

    even waiting one hour, his head will not come back!
