Quiet Reflection
Yesterday evening, as both the day and the sun were winding down, this tricolored heron enjoys a quiet moment alone in the marsh.
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.

Eccezionale questo scatto, รจ magnifico!!

Thanks a million Jeff I appreciate your kind words and too funny you asked about printing and framing this one. I was just exploring print options online right before I saw your comments. I don’t print and hang a lot of my photos but this one just might have to go on the wall.

Thanks much! This was one where I saw it with my own eyes before bringing up the camera and was happy when I looked through the viewfinder and realized that the scene could be captured just as it appeared. Sometimes it works out.
