I take a lot of shots of Great Blue Herons, so I know a good one when I see it. This is a good one, but not a great one. I think that's what hurt the score -- too many other GBH shots out there to compare it with.
What I do really admire about this is the background. That is hard to get -- the colors, clarity, and depth. So often the background is blurred out to prevent it from competing with the subject. Here the subject almost competes with the background. I really like that swamp. |
