How lucky Scott! Just plopped down right beside you and said, "Here I am! Just take my shot."...;-)
The color really is quite awesome and amazing.
He looks pretty serious about getting something to eat with that gaze.
Great shot!
Thanks for sharing,
Dave

Hi Scott

This looks almost unreal. I've never even heard of this bird. What an amazing colour. Great (lucky) capture. Wonder clarity, detail and POV, and obviously a wonderful colour.

Great Shot!!

What a colorful beautiful Ardeid, never seen it before, mustve been quite a sight. For a moment I tought someone played a prank, than I realised that was Mother Nature that squirted a fountain pen on this gracious bird. You have great cadrage, its a perfect portrait, couldnt ask for more. Its a ten.

What a beautifully coloured heron and very well captured. I think I prefer the workshop shot in the lake, but that's just my opinion. This portrait is quite nice too. Great plumage detail and excellent light and exposure.

Perfectly exposed and focused. The bird stand out beautifully agains the blured BG. It's the first time I see a picture of that species. I wonder if you didn't color it yourself...... Joking ;o)
Wonderfull picture and TFS.

Scott,
The detail and color here is amazing. It's unbelievable because my eye couldn't see this clear if I saw it in real life. i have better than 20/20 vision but it seem's it froze this bird so I could pick out each feather individually and view it.
Bald cypress? Remember that was the tree I photographed at the cemetary here in Edwardsville and I had to research it.
I really had to keep looking at this picture to believe it wasn't stuffed!
Superb work!
Scott

Hi Scott,

I also posted a caeruleum, in fact a Pulcherricium caeruleum, but it is not a bird, although the colour is quite the same :D

It looks as if someone has just died this one in velvet colour. It is really impressing. Nice shot, and thanks very much for sharing.
Have a nice week, Felipe.

Hi Scott,
Very good photo, really. I love heron, their colors and plumage details.
Yesterday I buy a birds book of Argentina, and it says that here is rare bird, they lives near my town, but lamentably never I saw one.
Congratulations and thank you.

Hi Scott. You are right, my immediate reaction on seeing this shot was "pumped up colours" ;). I believe you honest, but wow it is a surprise to find they are such a striking color all over! You have lovely definition and detail in the feathers and the exposure is great. I like this one very much and I'm just going off to look at the others you posted as workshops. Lovely note on the swamp too, it sounds fascinating. TFS :)
