Tony, another very fine dramatically illuminated image. I like the stone behind the heron which is not in shadow — it softens the dark background. It almost appears that this could have been a studio shot. Another great image with an artistic flare.

The rocky perch and background makes it special.

Beautiful, artistic work-almost looks moonlit.

I rarely see them on the rocks. Mostly in the grass or mud. Nicely done.
