Another early morning image, this one perched on a Cedar tree, from the BCNH and YCNH Rookery two weeks ago. C&C welcome.

D4s, Nikon 500mm + 1.4 tc, 1/640s, f 6.3, ISO 2000. Gitzo tripod, Wimberley Gimbal head.

Simple but very nice shot Geoffrey. I like the details throughout and it all just works well together

Very pleasing image of the night heron, good balance between perch/foreground and back ground, nice even light, good pose and details. Very nice work.

[adrian dancy]

Lovely image and pretty much faultless IMHO.

[Bill Dix]

Lovely. Nice pose with perfect HA and good exposure. Nicely framed within the red-cedar berries (Juniperus virginiana), against the smooth marsh background. White balance is neutral, and looks fine as posted, although I might have expected it to be somewhat warmer given the early morning light.

Got to be about perfect exposure,lots of detail in the whites, Cedar perch adds just a bit more interest ,fine piece of work.

Love the frame. Awesome exposure on the BCNH. The BG is very neat and I like the perch too.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love the perch this fella is standing on, quite unusual and effective. Good BG too. Would have been able to move to your right a bit more? Maybe not, but if so, why could this have been a good idea?
