undoubtedly a perfect name,
the goliath heron (ardea goliath) is the World's largest heron.
unfortunatly its not a confident and common bird so in many years i never got full frame and clear photos.
those birds are quiet shy but i got better result using a very little boat drifting with engine off.

We first spotted this hippo in the grass before it gradually made its way towards a watering hole early one morning. At this moment it had just climbed up on the bank of the hole before it descended to have a drink. As you can see it also has a bit of evidence of a battle of some sort. Life is never easy for wildlife, be it predator or prey.
In all we likely spent about a half hour observing it. Without doubt this was the best land sighting I've ever had for a hippo.

In a crater of ash and smoke, the light fades from the beast's eyes, yet seem to remain open in their charred blackness - appraising the hero from a realm beyond death.

A giant coucal endemic to Halmahera and very difficult to photograph. Despite its size, it quickly hides in the vegetation of dense trees.

Another attempt to convert one of my goliath heron pics into something different - I would appreciate all comments favourable or not.
Just come back home to find lots of favourable comments - thank you for that, I will take it further now that I have so many independent views.
As to what I did - selected the heron and reflection and masked off to get the shapes I wanted. Then a couple of coloured layers to provide the background and a dark vignette to concentrate the picture. I think that was this version.
In between the heavy showers I managed to get down to The Titanic Quarter just as the sky was putting out an orange glow.
Le Héron goliath est le plus grand de tous les échassiers. On le rencontre en Afrique subsaharienne où il fréquente principalement les rivières et les lacs peu profonds, qu'ils soient d'eau salée ou qu'ils soient d'eau douce.
