The Goliath Heron. I have long wanted a BIF shot of this magnificent heron which is not that common in South Africa.
This eventually happened recently at a local bird sanctuary, I was shooting from a hide. I like how the moorhen floating in the BG adds a sense of scale and depth.
Techs:
Canon 7D with 300mm f2.8 L IS USM + 1.4x TC-II (420mm)
f5.6 @ 1/2000 SS @ ISO-800
Exp +0.3

Stunner Morkel! Love the almost metallic colors of the feathers and sooooo sharp!
...I have not cloned anything out of a natural history image of mine for a long time and don't intend to start now
. I don't mind doing it for so-called "fine art" monochrome conversions etc...
