Green Heron

[Stan]

These small herons are quite difficult to spot as the tend to perch in the bushes alongside the water and blend in very well. This one made a brief appearance on fort Myers Beach

Re: Green Heron

Very well composed Stan, though I may adjust the levels as I recall the plumage being generally more vibrant. Could well be the same one I saw when I was last there. I've only ever seen one so he/she might be quite lonely!

thanks guys

I think that was how it was in the light at the end of the day - has sometimes been quite strange light here this time

Many of the smaller Herons/Egrets are quite shy and dislike making a public appearance
Well done; good capture...

Re: Green Heron

Thanks Steve and Lee

but background is messy !!!! lo

I knew someone would say that but there is a world of difference between a background which is more or less uniform and sharp and one which is composed of oof twigs and blown highlights etc
