What an awesome perspective! Like you were in the nest and the bird was about to land on you.

The moment I saw the thumbnail, I was reminded of a B-1B bomber taking off:

You were robbed, should have placed much higher.

I thought this would have placed higher, it's such an unusual perspective.

great capture.... the subject is a little dark though,. Also you can add some color to the background.. make it a little blue to add contrast to the image

another great bird picture!

Fantastic capture. The shape reminds me of the SR71 Blackbird, maybe that's just me being strange.

Magnificent. To me the birds the feathers look like a mess and the positioning of the legs make me wonder if it's about to land. There's a nice balance between what it's carrying and the shape of the bird too. I like it a lot.

What an interesting angle. Love those dangling feet! A nit - I'd have titled it differently. Something about "take off" or "nesting" but not sure exactly what.

pretty wild capture; love the position of the legs. the lighting really gives this image soul. thanks for sharing.

Great shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/20/2005 12:22:09 PM
this is cool, I'm sure I've seen thousands of heron shots but this is a new angle, probably too much to ask but flash would have put more light onto the underside of the wings and body, excellent capture

Perfect cropping, brilliant viewpoint and interesting lighting.

Never look up when a heron or pelican flys over, just an expert warning ;) great unique shot.

After voting on all... you get my yellow ribbon. Good luck.. and don't look up
