White-faced Heron

[Colin Driscoll]

Difficult to get these herons to look me in the eye when they are concentrating on getting breakfast.

1DXII 400mm F/2.8L II & 1.4XIII 560mm 1/1600 f8 iso1600 +.7ev HH

Cropped, sharpened, BG softened in PS

Nice high key look, nice raised foot..i don't think herons ever look at you...

[Arthur Morris]

Love the raised foot and wish that the head were angled a bit toward us rather than a bit away. Sometimes making a squeaky sound can get them to turn their head toward you. I love seeing heron an egret species from around the world so TFS.

with love, artie

Very cool looking heron. The raised foot is nice. Like the high key water.

[David Roach]

I love the pose, SH and EXP. I don't mind not having the slight head turn as you got the entire bird sharp and this beauty is obviously focused on getting next morsel... TFS
