White-faced heron

[Thonnaksar NOP]

I have so many images of this heron with plain BG....That day I was trying to include something different and interesting enough in the composition. So I saw this foarm created by a wave and took this picture.


D2Hs, 200-400 VR+TCx1.4, 1/640', f/5.6, @460mm, 200 ISO, Tripod

I like it a lot !!! Got the bird nicely framed within the foam If anything would take a little of the bottom for proportion Might smooth out the darker bg The image is tilted right but its obviously the sloop of the beach !!!

I love that foam - it really lifts the image!

Lovely bird and settings. Wish his bill was not against the foam.

I love the foam in this image. Makes me wish almost for an abstract image of just the foam. I haven't seen this species before and you got nice light on him. It does need a little sharpening (the foam looks more in focus).

Wonderful bird, wonderful foam. Wish only for a slightly better head angle. Sharp. Sweet light Well composed. Oh for a better head angle...

[Tony Kirkby]

Nice image, I am not sure whether I like the bird or the foam the most! The head angle could be better but is fine as is.
