Green Heron in flight

[arash_hazeghi]

This frame is from Bolsa Chica back in July, Bolsa is known for its sweet light but it was foggy both morning and afternoon during the few days I was there back in July. Caught this guy flying across the frame. The heron flew against the sun so the fog was a blessing here!

Excellent flight pose and sharp details.

Sure would have been nice to have some So Cal light on this guy but still a great flight frame of this elusive species. Well done

Hello,

Very nice Arash!
Tack sharp as always and a nice complimentary BG for this heron.
I would love to see a version with a bit more space in front of the bird,
Gail

Perfect flight pose and angle towards you. Looks great for ISO 3200. You seem to get fantastic results with your 400 DO and a 2x. Too bad about the lack of sun, but you definitely made the most of this encounter!
