Sunset Silhouette

This brave egret/heron gave me a great opportunity. Right place, right time, I guess.

Please click for larger. Thanks for looking!

Stunning! You were in the right place at the right time.

Wow, jawdropping shot! The heron is perfectly silhouetted against the beautiful reflection of that vibrant sky.



(As this is just your 8th post on the forum, you've set the bar terribly high for yourself!)

Nice shot.

I've been stalking a blue heron that visits our little pond for the occasional snack for the past 6 months. I can't seem to get anywhere near it.
Any tips on catching a shot of it?

Thanks, all.

Dave,
I didn't really sneak up on this one. He flew up just in front of me and I started snapping. I was able to get several frames in before he flew off. I was caught with the 17-55 on the camera and was wishing for the 70-200. But, I can't really complain about the results.

Again, thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. I really owe a lot to the bird! hehe.

Plans are for a large print. I'm not sure what size, yet, though!

Again, thanks!
