With this picture, I want to show you a strange behaviour I saw once. This young night heron swam as a duck to cross the pond. Really funny for an heron, isnīt it?
That's interesting, never seen anything like this!
I like the picture with it's lovely warm tones, good details and comp, good eye contact. The reflection is nice too!
You could remove the somewhat distracting whitish reflection , or take a bit off the top if you prefer.
That certainly is interesting behavior. The smooth background colors here are quite nice. I think the image, overall, could be a bit brighter. There are a few faint spots above the bird which you might want to remove.
Very interesting indeed. Light is great and I am fine with the exposure. The shooting angle is a little in-between I feel...a little low for reflection and little high for eye-level shot. If the reflection is not great, and if possible, for such shots I usually go down to the water level. But not sure if you have got the same BG...which is terrific here. Well done.
Lovely soft light. I agree with Steve about the spots and about making it a bit brighter, but works as is.
Just a few days ago I observed a Black-crowned Night Heron engaged in the same swimming behavior - I was wondering what kind of duck it was until I took out my binoculars and saw it was a heron. Very strange!
Can you possibly add a bit of canvas to the bottom? I like the colors and do not think it needs to be lightened if this was the condition when you saw the "duck." :p
