Emerging.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Green Heron plucks out lucky winner of today's "get out of the pond" contest! It has been fun photographing this ultra tame individual - I'm sure that I could probably capture it barehanded if I tried (but obviously won't!!)

Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/320s., f/7.1, ISO 1600, about 80% FF, a few specks in the water removed, darkened the reflections on the fish.

[Arthur Morris]

As expected, a technically perfect engaging image. Love the fish.

with love, artie and Irma

Very cool Dan, like the small fish, might dial back on the NR a bit

[John Mack]

Too cool good detail on the bird and the fish.

[Michael Thompson]

Love the close inmate feel of this one enjoying its meal, the shot I am trying to get!

Love your choice of crop.
Really nice to see the emerging head.
Good IQ and processing,
