I like the zoomed out image Harold very nice composition. To see the beautiful reflection and the habitat that the heron lives in now after the humans have left. Too bad more isn’t done to ensure the land is cleaned up and put back to its natural state.
Nice, Harold. Great to get the bird (nature) beside what's left of man made (unnatural).
Yes, Jane! An old steel beam some wood slowly rotting, an old rubber tire that should be removed, even the pier, all things that man has had a hand in.
Excellent composition, great tones and textures, well detailed here. The beautiful heron and its reflection add the perfect contrast to a really unique view. What a great shot Harold!
There are many textures here, Heather! I find the brown of the mud bottom and the wood piers give a very different look to this photo than many. It's not actually dark but has a dark feel to the photo.
The guy looks funny with its elongated neck. Water is just perfect to reflect some green color. The texture of the background is very interesting too. Very nice compo. Good that you included the old rotten peer on the right.
He does have a very lengthy neck, Yves. I really wanted to get more of the water because of the nice reflections but I couldn't coax the heron in.
