Dawn Patrol

While waiting for a couple of birding pals at Gilbert Water Preserve last week I witnessed a beautiful Sunrise. A Great Blue Heron flew across my view and I couldn't resist this photo.

Thanks for comments and help, I appreciate it a great deal!

Canon 50D, 300mm f/4 IS w/1.4 handheld, 1/1250 @ f/5.6, ISO 500

Very nice Hans. Great color and sunrise. I too would remove the dark spot in the LLC.

A very lovely mood to this image Hans, and I quite like it. I'd remove the spot that has been mentioned and print it :-)

Nice shot Hans. I first thought the BG was a desert dune. Ditto on the smudge, but well done on the opportunistic shot.
