About the Image(s)
This image of a male Great Blue Heron bringing a stick to his mate was taken in the early morning warm sun. I cropped it and warmed up the sky, did a tiny bit of sharpening and used NIK to polish it off a tad. Sony a1ii, 200-600 lens @ 280mm, 1/5000 second, f/6.3, ISO 640.

This image is SPECTACULAR! The story, action and crisp silhouettes, the sharp detail in the feathers and nest twigs, the pure uncluttered background, and the black against the glowing orange combine in striking wall-worthy and winning composition. Posted: 05/11/2025 00:40:01
