Green-backed Heron

[Nevil Lazarus]

That wonderful hide in the Kruger Park, a few kilometres from Skakuza camp, is a haven for photographing these skilled fisherbirds. Their success rate runs in the 90%,s !

Nice overcast light, intense stare, and exposure. The second stump bugs me but there is not much you can do about that. I would lose the white dots in the BG.

Fantastic shot Nevil!!

[Rob Drummond]

Great shot Nevil - certainly looks like it disturbed something. Like the lowish angle and intense concentration on the part of the bird

cheers

Like the decisive moment element in this image , Nevil !! Techiques well taken care of....second stump a pity..but not a thing you could do.
Best regards

Great posture and "special moment". Obviously you had overcast weather here, so the sky reflections are quite white, and the colours relatively cold. But still you did what you could given the circumstances, and it worked well!
