I am going back the same Little Blue Heron I photographed in South Cove, Old Saybrook, Ct on 5/25/16, because I have been unable to get out to do any photographing because of a walking problem. I was able to follow the Heron for ten minutes, as the bird fished along the shore. The photo is cropped by about 15% and I adjusted it with some Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation in
Lightroom 5.

Camera Model   Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Shooting Date/Time 05/25/16 7:24:38 AM
Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE, Tv(Shutter Speed) 1/1600

Thank you for stopping by.

I like this, Peter. Nice pose and the water trailing off the foot conveys the action well. The head turn is adequate for a view of the eye and I don't mind it facing away and going about its business.

I love this water and the background, the water coming off the bird's feet, and the action of the bird. I think you have the colors of the bird just right.

The foot coming out of the water gives the photo a lot of energy. Nicely captures.
