[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sorry I have posted or reviewed for some time, but I've been pretty busy at work ad haven't been out too much with the camera. Anyway, took the afternoon off and went to Regent's Park in central London. Nice sunny afternoon and the Herons were out in force. Managed to get quite a few shots; close ups, in-flight and a couple of very odd poses, which I'll post later.

Hope you all have good weekends.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Great shot of the Heron Grooming.
Nicely thought out composition with a excellent POV and pose.
Nice sharp details and good colours that contrast well with the blck BG.

Hola Mike,
bella captura e interesante momento,
original pov,
saludos

Bellissimo ritratto di airone, ottimo POV per questa posa inusuale nelle fotografie, molto buona la nitidezza e la messa a fuoco sull'occhio, molto belli i colori. Grazie complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

....and a good jolly weekend to you as well.. gosh knows you deserve some good things these days...and apparently your mood was up as you took this one on a nice afternoons break. It is yours to capture and you did it well...Very nice Mike..I am still (*really) enjoying your magazine... I wish I could get a subscription to the English version...Ours here are absolutely terrible and just so full of ads and nonsense...so you have it well over there!
