Hi Betty, So glad to see your work at Capturing the Great Blue Heron! There is wonderful composition in this photo - the yellow blossoms in the foreground so like the eye...nice work.
Betty LaRue replied:
Thank you, Mary. I began stalking this bird over 80 yard away, moving ever so slowly, snapping in case it was my last shot. The bird liked my slow creep I guess, because it allowed me quite close.

Very nice, love the composition. And he looks really cold!
Betty LaRue replied:
Thanks, you wouldn't believe how long I moved in slow motion, shooting from a long distance to near, to capture him.
