    Captured this heron at City Park in Denver. The light was a little tricky. Was foggy most of the morning, then the sun started to poke through. Thanks for looking.

    Nice capture, Dan. The soft sun worked well for you. Great wing position and the twig is a bonus. I don't mind the grey sky, but of course blue would be OK too. You might consider a little contrast boost on the bird.

    Flat light handled well and worked in your favor for this one. Gotta love that eye.

    Lovely wing position and soft light. Looks nice and sharp and well exposed.

    Beautiful light. Good exposure. I like it!
    Twig in his mouth makes this picture a bit more interesting to look at,
