Great Blue Heron

[Dave Leroy]

Some of these young ones appear confused as to where in the pecking order they stand and not at all shy. This is a slight crop from top and right. 50D, 500mm f/4 at f/4, 1/125, ISO400. Taken at Riefel yesterday.

Nice head shot. I think it would work well as a vert. as I feel there is too much negative space on the left.

[Brian Barcelos]

Great detail and I love the layered BG. I too would prefer a vert crop. Congrats

I like the image but agree it would look better as a verticle..sharp..

Thanks for the comments. Perhaps if the bit of grass on left were closer to being in focus my comp. might have worked. Dave
