10/9/04 - I Just Missed Him!!

I was just a hair slow on the trigger here. Even so, I thought that the stream of water trailing from the great blue heron's feet and its reflection made an interesting image. A bit dark & noisy, but that's what you get when you shoot when it's still dark & you need ISO 800 to get anything at all. A few minutes earlier he'd caught a big fish http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/34814296

Thisis an amazing image! I think this is probably more intersting visually than if you had actually captured the bird ...!
