Week 46 by Robin

Somewhere Over the Heron...Way Up High...

Ha ha! Week of birds here on NWG's! Heron from the highest level of the observation deck at Gatorland. What a beautiful bird! It was a cloudy day, so to freeze the action I used ISO 800. A bit grainy. I used Noise Ninja on the background and left the grain on the bird so I wouldn't smooth the feathers out. The blah background is the murky pond. Hopefully, the colors of the heron make up for it.

  2. I told Becky that I thought your photo this week will be of a bird in flight...LOL! I knew how you were trying to capture them at Gatorland and you did a great job! Their breeding plumage is just beautiful!
