As a documentary photo of a Night Heron without much sense, this works. Other than that, it is soft and dark. Tough to get more under the circumstances.

Peter,
Judging from the number of posts, I presume you are relatively new to the site. I hope you are not daunted by the feedback. In the beginning I was far too sensitive, and now when I return to my early picts, I think many of those who posted comments were too kind. Keep posting and learning.

A truly wonderful capture, unfortunately the technical aspects aren't up to snuff. I think we all have megabytes, probably gigabytes of images where the moment was right but we missed nailing the shot. I believe that is a big part of what keeps a lot of us motivated because every once in a while it all comes together and you capture the killer shot. Keep on shooting!
