Its the water...

My pond I shoot at is called Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden.
The water can be terrific color and texture depending on the light, reflection and season.
I took this yesterday, summer water is usually not as nice as winter but
it was exceptional yesterday.
Green Heron
D500, 420mm (300 w/ 1.4), 1/2000, f4, iso5600

Classic pose and good head turn. Our version in OZ is the Striated Heron and it is near impossible to get them to look at the camera. Nice light and environment.

Well composed. Good job for high iso. The water is really pleasing.
