I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
Just as we were leaving the marsh pond this evening, we stopped to admire this great blue heron silhouetted by warm sunset lighting.

Dire che questa foto è fantastica è troppo poco, è molto più di fantastica, toglie il fiato!!
Complimenti Phil. Ciao, Pat
