If he doesn't move, no one can see that he is alive.........an emergency tactic that I have noticed.

    Thank you, Greaper! I have been saving it for the right moment........and there really is no way to tell, so I brought him out. He was just in the last couple of weeks, don't mean I have been saving and saving him. I was quite excited to see him like that.

    I hated to cover up your name, trying to get some action on my posts, worked hard all day, for days it seems like. But I had to thank you for looking, then responding and for your particular response.

    I like him, and I am quite proud, though I did not do anything except stay very quiet. He was an easy shoot and an easy workup. I am more fond, myself, of my landscape/bird shots. This night heron, I feel like I should stick him in a bird ID book.

    Though he would look quite nice framed, especially in a pair, I guess. I just don't do that.

    But comments like yours, and even the ones that bother me, they let me know what I should be thinking of trying to sell.............some day.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I like this shot too, Ginger. I like the warm, low lighting angle and the way his feet are covered in green muck

    Very nice Ginger thumb.gifthumb

    That place you shoot sure has lots of that green "scum" on the water headscratch.gif Still, it makes for a very nice BG clap.gif

    Nice Gingerthumb.gif I have only come across one night heron so far in my neck of the woods, and he didn't stay long enough for me to snap a pick! Well done on yours!
