Thanks Gerald and Techo. @ Gerald: I just lucked out on the angle of the light, as there weren't too many spots on the ground that I could actually see this beautiful creature from.

Majestic shot. The Heron looks quite regal here.

The hard light from a low angle adds interest to this image. -Gerald

Thanks for your kind words Paul, Jim, Traveller! This beautiful bird was quite an unexpected visitor atop my friends roof in suburban NJ!

Great capture. Sharp and clean. I really like the lighting here.

This is so interesting! Very clean, and I especially like the minimialist, yet very there, effect of man made vs natural. Excellent work. Best Wishes, Traveller

Yes it is a heron, maybe a blue even though roof tops are not usually where one sees them. I like herons and they are fascinating to watch. Paul
