Re: PAW - Green Heron
Really nice shot - the heron certainly looks pleased with him/herself! I'm always envious of people who can take good bird photos. I'm definitely going to have to start saving for some decent long glass.

Re: PAW - Green Heron
Awesome shot Christian. Can't believe you caught him fish in hand...er..beak. Would have been nice to have gotten his eye sharp though, looks like the focal point is on the feathers in his hind end. I like the colors very much. rg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, it's another bird http://home.mindspring.com/~c_skofteland/id19.html The details: Two weeks ago, I decided to quit my job and take a week off before the new one starts (my wife says I change job more often than I change underwear...).
