Tricolored Heron Take 2

Same bird as the last that a couple minutes later decided to take up a new stalking position looking toward the open pool. At the same close range as the last, but the crouched pose afforded a more favorable comp to include the environment. I don't do it often, but for this the bird was very still and cooperative for a portrait at a low ISO. Shot full frame with slight adjustment in exposure and saturation. Fortunately the bird's plane of focus allowed this pose.

E-5 ZD300 F2.8, Wimberley I & tripod, ISO 100, 1/40 f4.5, 0.0EV, 2-second shutter delay with MLU
