Eileen's work is always so special! This one looks like a painting! Syber six star shot! I see your creativity and artistic skills! The pose for this heron is perfect! If you submit one of your shots to the photo bird contest, it will pay for your annual membership here. Always a pleasure to review your talented photos!

A nice tight shot that invites this sort of "foolin round". Personally I don't see this bird often and am always stricken by the brightness of the plumage and think this color does not do justice to the bird.

That's a pretty cool photo,Eileen!
You've given the scene a neat 'Soft and Dreamy' sort of look that I'm enjoying very much,my friend!
