Juvenile night heron chasing off a snowy egret from a popular branch. This was taken last August when we had major forest fires in Southern California. As a result the light was very strange for a month or two. Changed the color balance quite a bit to get rid of the smoke effects. I like the wing position of the heron and have considered cloning/cropping out the egret. Curious as to your opinion on that.
Technical info:
Nikon D80
Nikon 80-200mm 1:2.8 (at 200mm)
ISO 400 f/5.0 1/800 sec
raw conversion in lightroom, further tweaking in photoshop
