Blue Heron

Bonnet Carre Spillway

This guy was really "true blue"!

I've been studying some of Moose Peterson's videos, he's an amazing Wildlife Photographer.
Did you know. . . Moose NEVER crops a wildlife image, nor does he modify (clone in/out) any item in his wildlife pictures. He makes sure he has the photo framed the way he wants, with the background he wants, and his image is always exactly what existed in the environment. (Same rules as photo journalists)

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 400mm f/2.8D IF-ED AF-S II
1/350s f/8.0 at 650.0mm iso200, TC-17E-II full exif

Fabulous color in this. Appears that you learned something from Moose Peterson. However, one doesn't always have this clean or simple a background. Vote.

That is a beautiful blue. The big birds are all starting to show signs of mating plumage. A snowy egret almost had me making a U-turn on the Airline.
