An unusual view of a grey heron, it seem strange for it to be in a snow covered field not what you were you would expect to see a heron

Canon 7D Canon 500mm f4 lens, f6.3, 1/800sec ISO320

Wonder what it was looking for, rodents? Fine pose showing that tassel.

I really like the isolation of the heron in that field of snow.

I really like the minimalism of this shot and your nice exposure of the snow. I agree with cropping a bit from the bottom and maybe from the left. :toast:
