Great Blue Portrait-
It was a rainy morning with overcast skies, which I favor when speed is not an issue. It provides nice even lighting, and the camera can capture nice bright and dark tones. I promised this guy, and it is a guy, that if he turned his head a bit, I’d share his portrait. Being a man of my word, here it is. I could tell it was the male Great Blue Heron, from it’s behavior. His mate was sitting in the nest, hopefully laying eggs. He had been diligently bringing in sticks and they were busy with their mating rituals, both G and X rated. (Arden Herodias) (Sony a1, 400mm f/2.8 @ 2.8, 1/400 second, ISO 100)
