Tricolored Heron

[Bill Dix]

I decided I liked this one somewhat small in the frame. I cropped a little from left, and top and bottom for pano. Taken a Bunche Beach last month, not long after sunrise.

You did very well with herons in nice light. Another nice shot. Simple and with a raised foot as a bonus. West coast brings opportunities for these types of shots that the central and east coasts do not. I like the crop and beautiful background.

No nits from me, lovely image. The raised foot and calm water make this a 10 for me. Thank you for sharing, Bill.

[William Dickson]

Very nice. Love that crop. The raised leg adds so much and the colours are real good throughout. Maybe a touch CCW rotation.

Well done Bill

Beautiful capture, Bill. Great warmth and tranquil morning. Perfect BG. Nice decision to keep heron smallish.
