Photographed several years ago at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. The original 35mm slide was scanned using a Nikon SuperCool 300D

Wonderful pose, Floyd. I love the way the neck curve mimics the lines of the reeds so perfectly.

Not to many birds mimic their natural habitat as well as this one. Would like to see a vignette or graduated filter reduce light to the left to draw the eye to the bird better. Like the water in bg also. Nice shot.

Nice species, and it seems to be a good scan as well ! Slightly more room on the bottom of the image would make it even better, since now it seems that some part of the bittern is missing, even though it was obscured by the grasses anyway. That said, I wish it was mine , cheers, Hans

Nice bittern image. Difficult to capture one mostly out in the open. More room at the bottom for those virtual legs if you have it.
