This is wonderful. I am so envious as I adore herons and very rarely get to see one, let alone photograph it. This is just fabulous - really. #1447274

This is a stunning photo, however, I see the subject as the animal, and thereforr it should be in the Animals category. Keep up the great work! #1497591
