Great story and of course image. Another advantage of a nice long lens, doubles as a blind
... Love the intimate low POV, the pose and the BG. I even like the dark parts as they are positioned well and add to the mood. TFS
ps
Those thigh feathers...

Wonderfull preening capture, Gail. Love the contorted wings in the preening process. The light sends this one over the top. The heron almost has a 3D quality set off by the beautiful foreground and background smoothness. Love the subtle colors.
Great back story.

I like the low angle and the setting. The pose is neat as well. Always a nice treat to have a not tame bird be somewhat tame for a minute or two.

Crazy dynamic pose. Love the green base. Funny that they are skittish in your area. Around here they are pretty tame.

GBHs are skittish here too (except for the odd juvie such as here), but this summer I've come across two cooperative ones, and adults at that!
I love the pose, one that only GBHs can offer in their seemingly unlimited repertoire! Awesome low angle, and the feet splayed almost flat on the ground are pretty neat. I do like what Artie has done to the BG (I can live with either crop, with slight preference to the thinner vertical). P.S. looks sharp enough for me as posted!

I eliminated one o-o-f grass clump and cleaned up and smoothed the upper BKGR. If anyone wants to know how, please ask.

You did a great job with the BG Artie. Thank you. Would love to know how you did this,

Gail, a fun pose and a lovely sweet feel. As mentioned elsewhere, the dof here and pov are great.
Couple edits from Artie noted and probably helps an already great frame.
TFS!
