The World of the Heron Photo

Photographer’s Note

A heron surveys his domain from a high perch.

This beach is by the University of British Columbia, so it's a fairly urban place, though it may not look like it.

Bonjour Ken
les couleurs douces sont très agréable et le positionnement de l'oiseau est impeccable dans le reste de la compo. Belle image.

Lovely compo. I assume there is not much PP here (it would be awesome if it wasn't!). Yes, close to kitsch, but there is something in this that clearly puts it outside this category. From strictly personal preference and mood of the moment, I would have preffered a thin white border frame, since the image is dark enough already.
cheers,
Cristian

Welcome back, Ken! Your Heron is the owner of the sea, but...so full of thoughts...so worried. Maybe he was waiting for a wonderful female Heron and she was late? Anyway: wonderful, wonderful colours, Ken! And so a dreaming atmosphere...Bravo!

Hi Ken,
That's a rare and strange silhouette in the drakness even if the picture lacks a bit on sharpness.
Best wishes
Marc

Hi Ken,
Superb nature shot with beautiful soft colors for this impressive heron silhouette to stands against.
Like the dream quality of the slow exposure and how the gold and blue colors blend magically.
Regards, Tom
