Title: Black Crowned Night Herons-Adult & Youth
Post by: shutterbugmom on November 18, 2008, 11:26:09 AM
I took these at the Wild Animal Park when we were in San Diego in the spring of 07.  I just got around to post processing the young one.  The image of the adult, I entered in our local fair and won an award.  :)

Both of them have an expression as though they were saying, "Hey, whattaya doin' here?  I'm goin' ta watch ya closely!"
Great shots though.  Especially the adult one.  It's so detailed and lively looking.

Super detail and lovely DOF.  Both very nicely done.  If I had to find something, I might work on the brightly "colored" rocks behind the younger one just a bit.

Thanks for posting.

Hey, Kevin!  Thanks for the C/C!  I did think of the rocks, but I was lazy.  Maybe when I'm in a tedious mood, I will go back and work on those and see how the image improves.  Thanks again.
