Description
This is the same heron as yesterday's upload, but that was shot at 230mm, and for this one I zoomed all the way in to 400mm to get more of him into the frame and to get rid of some of the very messy background.
I think this shows the sun shining through his beak better; I love the translucent look it has.
Thanks for stopping by and any comments.

wonderful!
Excellent capture going to add!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the translucent look as well. Glad you could get this close up zoom on him. Beautiful looking bird. Aloha, have a great weekend.
A great zoom of this guy. He was sure patient with you in allowing you to capture him so well. I, too, love the beak.
Excellent shot; great DOF. What a handsome fellow!
It's a beautiful bird, but I must keep them away from my Koi pond! :o)
Excellent capture, great detail and clarity, nice work!!
Great close up capture Dennis, looks like the metering has picked up the back feathers for the most details, in this instance I would try for spot metering on the facial area for more head detail, it would also give more DOF
Amazing capture. Picked up great light and detail. Look at his stare.
Excellent shot, fantastic details and beautiful light!
Fantastic details and light.Wonderful work.
Stunning!!!
Beautiful close up Dennis! Nice backlighting and detail in the feathers, Sig..
Excellent back lighting and detail!
You must have a magnificent camera to zoom in like this. Yes I agree it is a wonderful shot of the beak with the sun shining on it, and also of the feathers too. Wonderful capture and excellent photography - hugs Jane xx
oh, the back lighting is excellent here. What a beautiful shot!
Amazing detail and beautiful capture
Again another fantastic shot, so crisp and clear!!
Wonderful Work!!!
Elegant and beautiful! So sharp against the slightly blurred background. That beak is amazing :)
Wonderful portrait!
This one is stunning, as well! I agree that the beak is beautiful in that light, but those feathers ... wow ... something about the graceful arcs, or the color ... just gorgeous.
Yes, the sun is doing it's work indeed. This guy realy gave you some time to work with, didn't he ;-) Excellent work
Everytime I see one of these guys it reminds me that I'm a stalker, of heron's & eagles that is!!!!! I'm always trying to sneak up on them. You've really caught this one very well!!!!!! bravo!!!!
Excellent shot.
A really nice shot. The lighting is wonderful.
