From December 11, 2009, lots of great action including flight. This beautiful Great Blur Heron stood still long enough for a vertical pano. Overcast conditions made for a great afternoon.
Might be on the sharpening. I usually don't pay too much attention on USM for JPGS when posting.
This is a vertical pano from two landscape images so that is all I have left and right. Bottom is as low as I went since the was other stuff there that was not appealing. I cropped on the top because the extra room did not appeal to me. I like this comp with a square crop.
Beautiful colors and feather detail. I love the neck plumes just touching their reflection. Personal preference, I know, but I would have cropped just a bit less at the top. In any event, a handsome image.
