Heron

I walked up to it, about 4 feet away and took two pictures, moved closer and took two more. I'm not familiar with the bird but felt that our proximity was unusual.

Great timing Neil. It is usually difficult to get that close to a water bird. Well worth your effort, this image.

Wonderful photo, Neil. Very light hearted summer fun and the heron is a great plus. Vote.

the heron is a delightful element, and the colour of the sea is fabulous..

Cool shot. The open beak really makes the shot for me as it makes me wonder what the heron is trying to "say".

Nice composition with this high horizon line and foreground. Really like the tones and brightness. "V"

A very well composed capture, Neil! Do you ever visit the St. Pete Pier??

Such a wonderful image Neil...there is a Heron that visits the waterside here but I still haven't managed to get a photo...it's very nervous not like this beauty...BV
