Gorgeous photos of herons! #5344284Cary Rogers January 19, 2008
Outstanding capture, Anne! Great stop-action, lighting, feather detail and texture. When the GBHs are nesting around here, I spend hours watching them and hoping for a shot like this. Nice job! #5364623Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
