    Nice catch.thumb.gif
    The very first time I shot a Heron it was during a fishing sequence. I was excited. What I didn't do was adjust the exposure bias to help with the bright sun and blowouts on the white parts of the bird.

    The next time I knocked the EV down a few clicks and got better results.

    I think you might find doing the same will give you even better shots.

    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!"

    Thanks Khaos, I appreciate your comment and help, you are right and it was early morning light so I almost got away with it. It was a grab shot and I lost my mind for second:): :):
