Very nice!

Nicely done. I like the DOF in the first and the slight blur of the background in the second.

 

[John 2]

Thanks all three of you.

Beautiful shots!

I really like the second one.. Nice shots!!

 

[Space Face]

The second is probably one of the best Heron shots I have ever seen John. Everything is about spot on. Exposure, dof, pov and composition. Even the slight motion blur at the wing tips. Wonderful shot.

Thanks Mitch, thanks kapaah, thanks Space Face. I would like to have you believe that I spent hours in a hide to capture these but truthfully, I was sat outside of the Reserve cafeteria drinking a coffee at the time.

You HAVE to come up with a better story How about camouflaged, chest high in the water while it was snowing?

Right place, right time you still had to make the shot and boy did you. Lovely stuff.
