The favorite meme of the Web is upon us again. Every Friday hundreds of bloggers show
us their part of their skies and it fun! Don ‘t miss out and visit the SWF Headquarters!
My contribution is reflective!
A Great Blue Heron

p.s I’m getting that weird error message again… “You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.” I can’t click the Submit button any slower. I’ve tried about 20 times. I don’t know if anyone else get this message, but this is the second time for me. Just thought you’d want to know.
That’s a fantastic picture. It’s so clear that it looks like I can reach out and touch the heron.

Near my house Blue Herons live in an urban forest (nestle) and fly to fish in a next lagoon. We can take beautiful shots like yours.
Good taken.

Have no idea if my comment is in, as the code I typed doesn’t seem to be uploading???? had trouble last week as well with the anti-spam code.

Reflections must be the order of the day today on Sky Watch – and this one is a corker!!! Wow!!! Love the photoshop technique you used!!!!
Am I able to save my details on your comment’s page to save me typing them in each week???
Visit Juless last blog post..Sky Watch Friday – Knock! Knock! on http://rabauldailyphoto-jules.blogspot.com
Glad you liked! Didn’t use any technique though, other than the normal adjustments.
And for the user details, they should be stored. However they will be lost if you a) delete you browsing history frequently, or have it set to automatically be purged every couple of days. They are not stored on my server.
The Anti Spam sometimes hicks up – but delivers in these cases to moderation, so I am getting it always. Had to shore up the sensitivity, for I’m getting slammed with comment spam. The number you see is just the number of those who make it through the initial scan. Statistically I get 10 spam comments per every real one.
That blows…
Cheers, Klaus
I like your birds’ photos.

Visit Laras last blog post..Sky Watch Friday: Triglavni National Park, Slovenia on http://uproad.blogspot.com
That’s a magnificent shot of the blue heron. I have shot them a lot at my neighborhood lake but haven’t gotten any shots that are good enough for the size I post on my photoblog. I use them on my wordy blog which has small shots but nothing even close to what you have accomplished. I need a more powerful telephoto lens but even with that I doubt I’d have the skill or talent to justify it. I’m drooling over this shot.
A reflective bird – that was a great one. Something to aim for.
