Last in the series of Heron shots. I took over 100 shots of this bird so
I'd be certain of getting a good photo and this is my favourite despite
the ugly vertical bars!
He was walking towards the bridge and I crouched down and focused on him
through the bars of the bridge. I'm glad I went to the extra effort now.

Wow, I love this shot. The vertical bars add to the sense that he(she) feels you are intruding. 1-2-3

I'm not a fan of the bars, but I do like the effect of the swirling water.

The detail on the bird is wonderful. I can get past the bars - it's a different framing technique... (1-2-3)

The bars and the bright reflection of the water is all I can focus on. Sorry!

The thing on the right is distracting...but I still like this pic. I like the ripples in the water.
