Ok, let’s just start with, I believe, this series of photograph comes under the title of the action is worth the critiques. The standoff between these two Big Blue takes place on the Four Mile River in East Lyme, CT, Sept. 12, at 8:08 AM. The sun is very low and producing a high contract kick off the water and mud. The Herons are also back light and standing on the down slope of the river. I will show you the RAW full frame of the last shot, to give a look at were I started from.
Thank you for stopping by.

Great sequence, Peter. Love the dance of the Herons. As David said, nice work shooting and processing these under those conditions.
