Caught this bird incoming one November morning when the salt marsh had tunned a beautiful Golden hue...

Hi JIm,

I really like the golden hue of the marsh. I think it really sets off the heron. I like the open wings pose. The details of the wing feathers is great. I also like how the out of focus (oof) grass in the fore-front of the picture and the oof grass in the far background helped frame the bird. Congratulations on a nice image,

Thanks for sharing,

Phil

Love the pose and amazing BG.

Excellent work!

Gorgous pose and light. Is it just me or is the bird a little too blue?? (See the beak and the feet)

[Stephen Earle]

Superb photograph. I like the angle of light and quality thereof. Pose is spectacular.

Terrific Jim, I like a lot the contrast between the golden BG and the bluish plumage of the heron
