This Heron and I startled each other and I quickly captured him taking off over the lake, towards the setting sun.
I tweaked the color to intensify the hue and tint it more orange.

I did email cpanaioti about the date. I explained that I keep resetting my camera with the correct date but it keeps defaulting back to 2000.
All my submissions have been photographed within the assigned dates.
Lovely shot! Love the color and movement. Great timing!
I think cpanaioti might be saying that you should set the correct date and time on your camera so that the information in EXIF is correctly reflects the date you took the picture.
Great capture. the colors are wonderfull, and the shot is perfectly composed. I'd like to see the bird a bit more in focus and sharper. Great! Jacko. 9
A little bit underexposure would be better -- i'd like to see the bird in a sillhouette, right now it's not and you can't see the details. Just about 1/2 stop under would allow the bird to be completely black, would be more effective. 7
It's pixelated. A bit higher quality JPG (maybe a smaller image in pixel width to make up for it) would have scored higher from me. Graet concept, probably great execution; bad post-processing.
