Taken a couple of minutes after the Mallard that I posted previously. The mist quickly burned up, and the wind picked up thus starting to ripple the water surface of the pond. What I really liked about the scene was the transition from orange to blue in the water...I positioned myself specifically to capture this in the BG and waited for a perfect profile head angle from the Great-blue Heron. I would have liked to move even more to my right, but this would have introduced some distracting elements that are just out of the frame. What may look like sharpening halos is actually light seeping through from behind the heron.
Canon 40D + 100-400L @300mm, aperture priority, 1/2500s., f/7.1, ISO 500, -0.3 EC, handheld.
