This Lil' Blue Heron is lost! He is about 1500 miles out of his usual range.
Only a handful of recordings fir Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He has become a super star for all the birders but I have been going out at sunrise and always have him to myself.
Canon 1 DX3 600mm and 1.4 x
ISO 2500 F 5.6 SS 1/500
I have many pics with him in the nice early morning light but this one was my favorite of the morning. I have lots of pictures of little Blue's in Florida but
I really like the different environmental setting shown in this image.
PP: Usual LR sliders. crop to 65% FF.
Nothing added and cloned out 2 small spots in the water.Dodged the black spot behind bird behind the heron Topaz Denoise AI used on BG.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,
