Black Crown Night Heron

Andrew McCullough · Jan 4, 2008

The sky behind me cleared just before sunset. The sun bounced off of the clouds still in the sky in front of me and created an interesting glow for just a few minutes. I had been watching this bird for awhile an made a few frames before it got dark.

Thanks for looking. Andy

Subject, light and pose are good, but i find the immediate foreground somewhat distracting. Perhaps a lower angle would have made it less distracting?
