Great Blue Heron, a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

The largest bird in Florida is the Great Blue Heron, I was lucky to capture it while on flight. (One WS).

Blue Cypress marsh is about 26 km west of Vero Beach Florida, where we took an airboat ride. Will show more birds from this reservation.

Site location is generally at 27.666,-80.646 on the map.

RAW converted into JPEG, F4.5, 1/800, ISO100, spot, cropped all sides.

Hi Ike,
I think this is a paradise for the bird watchers. Although I was so focused on the alligators that I don't remember seeing any birds.
Nice capture in flight. Being fan of plane photography, I suppose flying birds are easy for you to photograph.
Very well done,
M

Hello Ike,
A fascinating bird shown in two good photos. Yes, I find the WS quite successful in spite of what you say. It's clear and quite sharp and we get a very good view of the bird from below. The advantage of the main photo is that it shows us more of the scenery.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Ike,

This is a fine capture of the heron, wonderfully sharp!
Its large wings make it appear to be travelling in slow motion over the water.
I watched a film about travellers in Florida, yesterday, and there seemed to be lots of these birds in and around The Everglades.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Ike,

You have captured well the flight of the bird. The point of view is showing the details of the Great Blue Heron. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike, two lovely pictures that show perfectly the Great Blue Heron.
I love to see herons with their feet in the water! Waiting silently for a fish to swim by.
Your w/s shot seems to emphasise the length of the birds neck.
I think that you managed really well to capture this large bird in flight.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Ike,
You caught this heron so well in full flight low over the water and the surrounding green areas. Very well done with great sharpness and fine lighting.

Hello Ike,
Nice catch in mid-air. I must confess, my eyes have been trained by "rules" of composition and I am looking for more space in front of the bird than in the back.
Regards,

Hi Ike.
Two spectacular images of this huge heron, you have captured it wonderfully in full flight, for me you should have put the WS photo as the main one of it, it is sensational to see it like this with its wings outstretched flying over you.
A magnificent color that gives a lot of chromatic richness to the image.
Very good management of lighting and sharpness.
Well done. I like it.
I wish you a pleasant week.
Very best regards.
Luis.
