I chased this heron up and down the beach for a good 2 hours. Out of 100 or so shots, this one is probably the best (hard to choose, so many were the same!)
they herons in florida are very shy as well, occasionally they dont seem to mind you getting close if there is the possibility of food (like when fishing and having live bait) still, seems just as you get set-up they spook ...lol i think this is the bird the the nooks followed to the sunshine state.
Yes, almost to 6.5! Perseverance at the water's edge pays off - I've find the herons and egrets in the rice fields are very camera-shy (the ones in Tokyo aren't so). Great detail in the feathers.
This is a wonderful image. The only constructive comment i would make would have been to perhapsframe the heron more to the right as to give him more space to look into.
That is beautiful. The lighting makes that golden bird shine exquisitely. And such impressive detail in the feathers. Great job. I love those birds. They are so photogenic.
