Great Blue in the twilight

I love the detail in the feathers; it even shows in the reflection. The reflection itself is great too.

How do you manage to get so close? There are lots of herons nearby on the Columbia River, but they're camera shy and not easy to get close to. I guess maybe we're just too noisy. :)

Anyway, congrats on a moment well captured.

A beautiful photo of a beautiful animal. Well done! Some small catchlights to add a bit of life to the eyes might make it even better.


There are some light reflections, at least in the one eye. Maybe a little sharpening would bring that out more. Anyway, just a thought.

This is a wonderful shot. The look of true innocence on this cute little girl's face is priceless! My only nitpick would be the wrinkles and creases visible in the background material.

Very nice! I love the sharp spires against the blue sky. Well done!

BTW, this would make a nice subject for the Architecture challenge. :)

You did a really nice job of capturing him with his wings fully spread. Well done! I'd crop out the feeder though.

Originally posted by yakatme: Great capture, but I also wonder if this is superimposed. It looks like a perfectly focused shot of the hummingbird. Lucky, or extremely quick or skilled with the focus.

Nothing was superimposed on the image.

Like this? :)

I think you were right. I like the white frame on this one.
