Green Heron on foggy morning

[Raul Quinones]

An old one (06-DEC-2005) from Wakodahatchee Wetlands.

Canon digital rebel, 100-400mm
1/15s f/13.0 at 105.0mm iso200

This was shot on manual exposure and focus, the original picture was significantly underexpose.

Raul, the lighting really sets the mood here! I think to make this an even stronger image, I'd clone out the lone rock on the right and the plant/flower that is only half in the image at the bottom. Let that heron take the stage by reducing some of the clutter and I think the image would really fly!

Thanks for recommendations Julie, I also removed additional distractions.

[Julie Kenward]

Wow! Now it really has impact! It's a stunning image, Raul.

[Joanna Trescott]

Great suggestion, Julie. Really like the repost.

Yes, Raul, I'd have recommended the same thing Julie did and it does improve it! The flower was what bothered me the most. I love fog images. Good going!
