That would be another one taken at the end of the exhale then? Very sharp. Best Regards BC.

Not really - as you can see from the Exif - 1/200 s and f16 - it was a bright and sunny day for a change - even able to use ISO200 and a 170 mm zoom. The Heron was also very cooperative.

Don't you just love it when they actually cooperate! Nice capture. Creann

Yes I agree with the others a real good unusual shot. 5 votes for me too.

Thanks for the supportive comments, they're much appreciated. If you want to get close to these birds, I really recommend coming to Holland. They're very used to human presence and getting reasonably close (within 20 metres) isn't too difficult.

Tack sharp and well composed. 5*

One thing i cannot do is film wildlife I'm hopeless at it :(
