p.1 #1 · Good things come in 'Green' as in Herons....(8)


It has been an off year for me, lots of other things going on in life on days off so I have not been out much and Summer was hot and humid and most often uncomfortable to be out. However, now is the great times in weather and natural beauty in Ohio as the days cool off and the foliage begins to change.............my favorite time of the year.

Hadn't seen a Green Heron in a long time, today was different...........................

Thanks for stopping in, comments are always encouraged

"It's not easy being green..." especially for the frogs your greenies took down

Great shots of these fabulous birds Karl! I'm glad you are back out in it and at it. 1,5, and 7 are killer good.

Well done!

Jim

Great job on the green heron. The ones with the heron and his/her frog are outstanding!

5, 7 and 8 for me Karl. 5 for the great vertical frame and the prey, seven and eight for the cleaner backgrounds. I found the other backgrounds to be competing a lot with the beautiful heron, although I do really like the jump with cool hairstyle in #2
Looks like a great day out in the field with this guy, hope you have the time and weather to get out more in the next little while.

Karl, what a killer set of Greenies, so many sweet shots hard to pick a favorite so I won't.

A delightful treat, Karl. Geoff captured my feelings about the set as well as you captured the birds.

Excellent set of images! The heron was giving you some nice poses and the surroundings added a lot. The color and detail are excellent.

Thanks for the detailed commenting Geoff. As we know the isolated clean BG's make for a great portrait, however I too fully enjoy the right environment to compliment and place the subject, this presents a bigger challenge for presentation. It's always a compromise at times but I wouldn't want to pass on those shots so I go for it LO

Take care, you are everywhere with all gears, you make my head spin! Some day I hope our paths cross for some shooting fun.............best to ya
