Great Blue Heron at Sunset

Some of you may have seen this one before on another forum, but I'd thought I'd post it here, as it is one of my favorite shots. I made this image at Estero Lagoon in Ft. Myers Beach last November on a magical evening. I hope that you like it !

Canon 1D, 28-70L, Handheld.

Very nicely done! I love the balance here, my eye keeps drifting from the bird to the sunset and back again.

Thanks for sharing!

Great light and shooting to you all!

Wonderful. I thought that Estero was a morning shoot only. You've certainly convinced me otherwise.

Wow, superb scenic shot. The graduation of colors in the water is terrific, and of course the sun setting on the horizon is sweet!

Mathew:

The light here is wonderful--This would be a fine picture without the bird.

The reflection of the bird makes it one of my favorites of all the good stuff you have posted.

Matthew,
It's easy to see why this is one of your favorites. Looks like a wall-hanger to me.

This is one fine sunset image. I'd be tempted to remove the double beak in the reflection. :wink:
