"Water Walker"
I'm quite happy with the pose I was able to capture on this great blue heron coming in for a landing low over the Potomac River in Great Falls National Park, Virginia. He was a bit tight towards the left side of the frame, so I cropped off the right into a 4x5. It's kind of tight, but I think it works. What about you?
As always, thanks for looking!

Nice wing pose and the habitat behind.

Crop good. It seems like it should be sharper? Maybe something got dirty or misty? I would like to see some evidence of the other wing, even out of focus. I to like the pose, in a decisive moment kind of way.
Thank You

Putting on the brakes! I too would like to see the back wing, but minor detail.
Nice stop action.
I am starting to think you have a pet GBH that you take to Great Falls!

So gangly yet somehow still elegant. A very nice image of this species.
