Great Blue Heron

[Bee Emily]

This shot was taken at approx 5pm on 10/15/07 in Whately, MA near my home with a Canon 10D at 115mm, f4.5, iso 400, 1/250, handheld. I took this after the heron went after some dinner in a shallow creek. He came out to get dry. I was lucky to shoot from approx 20 feet away in the wide open for about 1.5 hours.

I like the fluffed-up pose and eye contact and might increase the color temperature a few degrees. You could also give it a bit more room at the bottom for the 'virtual' legs. Keep them coming.
