Great Blue Heron.

[Daniel Cadieux]

This beautiful individual waded into range as it searched for small fish to hunt.

Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/2000s., f/4, ISO 400, natural light, handheld, FF, toned down the yellows in the BG, a few clumps in the water removed patch and clone tools.

Nice pose on the bird. Great low angle as well. Details look good.

Love the BG. The lily pads are cool as well. Good details. No nits from me. TFS

Love the background, pose, details and the low angle. Beautiful image Daniel. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Dan, I like the serene mood and how the FG and BG gradiates w color. Just a wisp of the lily pads that provide a wonderful sense of habitat... POV is terrific as well, lovely frame.
