Little Blue Heron

It was a cold, blustery day...everything was hunkering down.

I like that. I would retouch the tiny bit of white he has stuck on his feather out. But other than that good stuff.

I like this- nice cool-toned colours, DOF, composition, etc. It really expresses a cold, blustery day quite well.

Knowing that you are in Florida, though, I bet that whatever temperature = cold & blustery in this shot is not quite what I'm imagining

I am going to take a wild guess that 58F isn't even close to what you're experiencing up there....Brr, Brrrrr, Triple Brrrrrrrrrr. You guys have to have brass cajones to deal with that every year.

 

[BlackSheep]

Ha I don't have any cajones at all, but yep 58F is pretty warm in my books. We're sitting at a comfortable (for us) -2C up here in Toronto, which is something like 25 or 30F for you, I think.

It's all relative though, and I still quite like your expression of "cold" with the heron photo

Nice looking Heron Cee!

it's going to get down to 34F tonight...not freezing but cold enough for me...too cold for me. Sorry for the gender misidentifaction. :blushing:

A couple of weeks ago it was -3f and I was still wearing shorts and t-shirt and sandals. Everyone here in MN looks at me like I am completely off of my rocker sometimes.. even my wife. She thinks I am nuts when I get so hot that I roll the window down in the car at times. She is SO SO happy to have dual climate in the car hehe.

and yes I REALLY do wear t-shirt, sandals and shorts during the winter.

I like this one, colors are nice and it's sharp. Nice blurry background that don't distract in any way. Great work!

When I fist moved here and encountered the winter Canadian visitors, i thought they were all nuts - out swimming in the Gulf of Mexico when it was 40-50F. I still think they're nuts but at least now I understand.
