    I took half an hour observing this green heron occupied into fishing activity. He walk about 6 feets and freeze for a moment, looking for small fish or crayfish. Then he change direction, walk 6 feets and freeze... He keeps on fishing that way until he is satisfied.

    Beautiful capture of the heron with an interesting story and a great reflection. It also reminds us of how hard birds have to work for their food. Great shot, Yves.

    Terrific shot Yves. Very nice focus on the heron showing lots of nice detail. The pose of the heron really reflects nicely in the water.
