GBH backlit by sunset

Florida

This Great Blue Heron is so used to me that he let me stand by him for over a half hour. He actually came toward me and was too big to fit in the viewfinder, so I had to move back. I had my 135mm lens on here, so you can judge how close he was. He is backlit by the setting sun.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon 135 f/2L
1/2000s f/2.8 at 135.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

His chest feathers look especially delicate with the light hitting them just right. Good stuff.
