Thanks Bob. This was taken at Blue Lotus watergarden in Yarra Junction. It is worth a visit if you are on the Eastern side of Melbourne. Ten acres of waterlilies and lotus. Julie
Looks like a mistake that works.... and works VERY well. I like it Julie. I think the building behind it at this DOF would have been too distracting in an in-focus shot. Now it adds to the whole story. Well done. ~Lydia
Very nice, Julie. The blurs capture the movement of the heron, and the highlights on the white feathers against the red bridge are especially effective.
