Dear Peter,
this is an interesting picture, the composition, the strange position of the heron, the many colours are superb. I have never seen this species on pics before, it might be a first on TN. Unfortunately it lacks some sharpness that cannot be remedied in a workshop. But I am glad that you showed the pic on TN anyway, thanks!
Best regards,
Dietrich

Hi Peter,

Is this a first for TN? I don't remember seeing it before. An interesting looking Heron with wonderful colors. The plumage is marvelous. I love the yellow on the face and those white feathers that make him look all dressed up. Wonderful sighting.

Hello Peter,
What a beautiful Heron that I've not seen before. You've captured the main features and the colours of the bird very well. I like its pose too. Background is a bit busy but the shot is still a rarity!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Peter,
Good shot of what must be one of the most beautiful herons in the world! You caught this Rufecent Tiger Heron in a good pose and from an excellent POV. Though a little soft the blurred BG helps to show him up in a fine composition.
TFS and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Agree with meyerd, that is was worth posting, despite not being the sharpest knife in the drawer. ;)
Being an avid Heron shooter myself, learning of species, I've never seen before is great!!!
Seems to be a close cousin of the Green Heron, what build is concerned. TFS and Cheers, Klaus!
