Little Blue Heron

Took my camera on my health walk at lunch today, and spotted this guy on the far side of a pond. This is an extreme crop, but it turned out OK.

That's a wonderful capture! Great posture, looking into the frame, and he's in his natural environment. Good job with the cropping.

Thank you! There was an Egret with him, but it saw the camera and flew off. Would have made a nice shot with both, but there ya have it.

Very good shot. Herons are one of my favorite birds to photograph.

Thanks! I was pleased with how it turned out, given how far away it was, and how much cropping I did. I'm really liking the R7 in that respect.
