Bare-throatedTigerHeron_MB12163.jpg

Taken in Costa Rica from a boat.
The tiger heron walked up the bank as our boat drifted by. As he peered over the bank at us, I was able to get this.
Canon 1 DX 600mm v3
ISO 1600 f4.0 SS 1/800. Handheld and shot in portrait orientation. Thank goodness for image stabilization!
Small crop, sliders in LR, NR to BG and sharpen JPEG. Cloned a small fly off the throat.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,
Gail
 
How cool! Tremendous visual impact! You did well to flip the camera over to vertical, not many have that instinct or situational recognition to do so. You must be pretty darn happy with this one:c3:

If there ever was an image that screamed for portrait orientation, this is it! He looks like some type of alien beast.

Very fun capture, well executed.

Congrats
