What a scruffy looking beast, Jeff! Looks as tho he has a multitude of coloured feathers as well. Lovely capture1

  He is getting ready for a quick pounce.
Indeed, the composition is excellent; it adds depth to the piece.

  OUTSTANDING STALKING CAPTURE
I totally enjoy watching these big birds hunt . The fact that they will spear ANYTHING w/that deadly bill that they think they can swallow makes them even more interesting.

  They are cool to watch. Ours are a bit skittish, but there's one I can get within shooting distance.

  Jeff, I've never seen a heron stalking in "deep" water until now. Guess this one's intense stare is locking onto a fish very close to him. That long neck must come in handy!
BTW, beautiful colors, and great composition.

  Really unique view and capture, Jeff. I was watching an educational video about GBHs yesterday. They weight (surprisingly) only 5 to 8 pounds and can easily eat their weight every day.

  Great capture Jeff and I can see why he can catch more fish than man...his eyes are sharp, his beak is sharp and he stands in the water on sharp talons...man can't beat that! :-)

  I think fishermen could take a few lessons from this bird who looks a little bedraggled in this wonderful image.
