I've got to go with Christian on this one. Technically, it is excellent. It belongs in a book about Herons to help you see exactly what they look like (at least the head/neck).
But aesthetically, it doesn't quite do it for me. I'd like to see the body and maybe even a small bit of surroundings. -- Bruce Thursday, July 20, 2006, 1:24:17 AM, you wrote: C> It's a really sharp image, but like the other shot a while back (not C> sure from whom), I dislike disembodied head shots of herons, egrets and C> cranes.
