I agree with Heather. He is enjoying his quiet time. One of those shots that makes you feel at peace as well. The water texture, colour and reflection are perfect to create the mood.

Thank you Debra. Agree with you all the way about the water texture and strong reflection of the totaly white bird create the mood.

A beautiful pose it too as he enjoys a peaceful moment. Well seen and captured, Yves.

Thank you Heather. It is quite usual to see them in that pose. What is not usual is the nice surrounding colour and texture of the water and the almost totaly white colour of the bird due to the angle of sunlight. The great heron is a super model for that, its colours are totaly different depending of the pose and lighting.
