Heron Art #2

From my second visit to this rookery. Had to try a photoart treatment to make this one worth looking at.

500/4 wide open at 1/640th, still borderline on stability (forgot the gravel filled sack I was going to bring)

Very nice Pete. Reminds me of a Japanese print with that bg fading off into infinity. I like the mood.

One of your best Pete. Excellent colours and almost like a soft embossed look about it. I think its the colour of the bird that gives me that look. Fantastic comp M8t, really is.

All the best up your way as always Pete, this is really that good :toast: :toast:

Nice save! Glad you took the time to rescue the great lines and comp instead of just chalking it up to a technical loss.
