[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Fault of having a powerful teleobjective, I never really approached the wildlife photography of bird. I finally tested it last weekend, a friend having provide me a 300 mm.

This picture is quite my first experience with serious equipment. I took this picture at twilight. I did not want to freeze the scene but to obtain a certain effect with a long pose. The heron was a good partner, moving only very little.

Hope you like it!

Hi Emmanuel,

very effective shot, the composition is great and you have the added bonus of a VERY still Heron too! Great work,

Paul

Yes, this is a very good photo. The contrast of the moving unsharp water and the sharpness of the heron is very effective.

The crop enhances this composition even further.

Well done, TFS/Bengt

Hi Emmanuel,
Yes the Heron was very good to pose so well for you. The effect you achieved with the motion of the water is very impressive too. You will have to go on more photographic adventures with your frien if this is the result. Excellent.
Cheers,
Debbie

I like the longer exposure used, its proved very effective and different. I think the composition could be improved slightly as the Heron feels a little tight to the frame edges to me.

Overall very good though.

Matt

Hello Emmanuel!
This is really beautiful composition! Great colours, very nice POV and DOF. I like the rocks in the FG and the beauty heron in the corner.
TFS and best greetings from Lodz,

Bonjour Emmanuel,

the effect you've obtained is truly wonderful.
The long exposure works so well. You were lucky he stood so still, but then again you make your own luck!!

Tremendous shot.

Gary

very impressive focus on the bird given the long exposure. nice colors wonderful water texture. interesting motion effect with what looks like 2 sets of legs on the bird.

Great, great. Great exposure. I like the soft running water and that has been my topic for photography recently.

This is gorgeous Emmanuel, all technical aspect are perfect and with a nice touch of creativy. Super job my French friend. :)

Hi Emmanuel ,
Solid shot with exception sense of moment. Love the slow shutter giving blur to the water offset against the sharpness of the heron. Very nice!
Cheers

Bonjour Emmanuel,
Pour un essai c'est une réussite. Très belle atmosphère, suggérant le crépuscule, lorsque les couleurs ont un éclat particulier,(en général,juste quelques instants).
Merci de cette belle image
