Dancing on Air

This Great Blue Heron was in the midst of a jump from the pond to the log and looks suspended in space. They can be such awkward looking creatures but are actually quite graceful. I got several shots as it made its move and it was beauty in motion.

1/1600s f/5.3 at 220.0mm iso800 full exif

Not sure pose is the right word, but it's sure a good one.
