Another green heron shot from this past summer. For nesting, they seem to prefer this area with a large fallen branch in the water in front of an overhanging tree. Lucky for me it is near the boat dock which makes for a nice shooting site. Very glad the nesting was successful this past year.

Nice light you had here and a dynamic sharp pose.
What a dandy shot. Incoming with some speed. That pose says it all. A really good catch. And a nice bg to go with it.
Allen, this is a wonderful stop action shot. I like the perch he is headed for, it is a nice element in this scene. Perfect timing.
A wonderful landing pose, Allen. The extension of the feet is awesome. Very well done.
The other comments say it for me. That bright area by tail makes it look like the heron is skidding to a stop. Very nice.
Love this action shot! The background blur makes it look really fast!
Really nice. Bird is good and sharp, great light. I love the inclusion of the perch. Only suggestion is that I’d try and blend in that spot in the water under the heron’s tail.
Great detail for a fast action shot. Nicely composed with an attractive setting.
Great shot, one of those that make me smile. While writing this it’s morning, I just have my first cup of coffee and this is the first image I check and I am already in a good mood. Thanks ! Love the stretched legs and good to have the landing spot in the frame. Well done ! Cheers, Hans
Well ok, everyone has already said it all so I’ll just add that I love it!
