Thanks everyone. Yes the morning light is tough to beat. I got up at 6:00 am (on
my vacation) to go take some pics. It worked out OK. Thanks again. dave.
(I don't know if there is a difference between GBH and BH, sorry)

Dave, this is a striking image. All previous comments have expressed my opinion about this shot, so I'll just say thanks for sharing. I do have one question. Is there a difference between a Great Blue Heron and a Blue Heron? Just curious.---Deb

Beautiful lighting and detail here, Dave...nice background color and DOF to help set it off too. I like the heron's intent and focused gaze, most likely the result of a food search. Nice shot, Dave. MFC

What a beauty. You really get a sense of the textures of its feathers -- so downy soft looking on the neck, and crisply defined on its back. Great shot.
