Another GBH Juvi

Gallery: AvianPosted August 6, 2010168 views11 comments

Shot last Sunday in Gufport near the harbor. There were three juvies, probably sibling, hanging out that morning. This one caught an eel a bit later, but the images I shot weren't very good. I also have a few poses with another one catching minnows, which I'll post soon.

A very appealing comp here Bill. Love the FG, mid, and BG setup. The light really makes the mood for me. Bird looks sharp but is a bit hard for me to tell from the 720px image. Well done.

Hi Bill,
Nice light in this one. I also like the the very smooth background. Perfect placement of the bird made for a nice composition. Well done.
Thanks for posting,

Sweet pose and I like the way the sand bar breaks up the bg.

Bill,

I love the background and think the sandbar adds interest while not stealing any attention away from the bird. Nice low angle, beautiful light on the bird and at this size it shows lovely details and sharpness. A fine image of this juvie heron

Very nicely done Bill - it all works. I really like the tiered background.

Excellent capture, Bill. The alternating sand/water of the bg works well here.

Great detail on the bird Bill and I like the lines of water and sand and the lines within them as well.

cheers
Rob
