Nice capture! It might look better with a tighter crop to put more emphesis on the herron.Just a thought. My best,JOHN

I agree with John. You need to crop it tighter. The Heron gets lost with its surroundings.

Great action shot Jon. The wings all spread out and showing his colors. This one shows exactly the motion that is taken to take flight. Awesome Jon!

Hi Jon,
Beautiful photograph, I really like this site you have used for several of your photographs, so nice! Kind of monotone, silvery looking! I like it.
The bird kind of blends in, at a quick glance he doesn't jump out at you. (or should I say, 'fly out'....just kidding ya!)

GREAT capture getting this action!
Have a nice evening!

Lori :)

What a timing! The heron is so beautiful and elegant in its spreat wings.
Beautiful composition, lovely soft tones.
Great work, Jon!

i was near Baltimore Maryland today, Thursday march 18th on business and I decided to take old Route 40 back to Philadelphia instead of interstate I-95. after going about five miles I saw a marshy area to my left, which I is part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and spotted this great blue heron!{this is the same marsh that I got the pictures of the two beautiful wild white swans several weeks ago!) with great delight i turned by Ford Explorer around parked on the side of the road. then i started shooting pictures of him from approximately 125 yards away, with my trusted Fuji s5000, on full telephoto, in the sports mode, with the digital magnifier activated! 10x+2xdigital. i wish he would have been closer, Im sure I could have gotten much more dramatic shots! thanks for all your wonderful and constructive comments! best regards,jon [ps by the time I started shooting pictures of this beautiful bird was 4:30 PM in the afternoon]

Wonderful capture, Jon. You can see the water still falling from his feet. I like this new Usefilm. Takes a little getting use to the change though. I just back from the Gulf coast this morning and this afternoon was my first time to see the new format.

I spoke too soon!! This is even better! lol
Love the way you captured the feet leaving the water!
