The weather on Lake Albert, Uganda can be very changeable, and suddenly there was very bright sunshine.

Nice light on the heron, Ken, and excellent detail. The large oof flower in the upper left draws my attention a bit.

Love the light in this shot, Ken! Nicely shot also. A tighter crop on the top and right side would eliminate half of the bright flower and would put the bird more on the right side of the frame, walking into the scene.

Hi Ken
The sunshine and detail on the Heron are nice.

Thanks for the comments, I was unsure about the flower?
