Green Heron

Louisiana

Standing on a nice perch looking for some food.

I like the way this one turned out.
Diffused lighting from an overcast sky.
Nice background with a semi neutral green duck seed.
Enough distance between subject and background to draw attention and focus on the subject.

It was one of those shots when I looked thru my viewfinder that I knew would look fairly nice, just as long as I did not "blow" the shot! (LOL)
