Description
Can you spot the bittern? Well, now you know to look for it, it's probably easy enough :)
Typical pose for the bittern when alarmed or frightened: It tries to become invisible among the reeds, helped by the upright stance and patterns on the feathers.
Vue 7.4 Complete render. No postwork besides the framing & signature (Photoshop).
Chickadee & Eurasian Bittern from Songbird Remix collections by Ken Gilliland ("KenG")/DAZ.
A few Vue "Alder" trees in the background, the rest of the vegetation is by me.
(In case some you may think so, the reeds are NOT too big. They may grow up to 4 meters height in real life. And BTW: I'm considering making a "reeds pack" available for purchase at Cornucopia, well, let's see...)
****** NOTE: After I made this render during the weekend, I found out yesterday (browsing his gallery) that KenG had already made a similar composition. I'm not trying to "copycat" him of course (to think that would be to confuse cause and effect), and the theme with the bittern in the classic stance among reeds is an obvious choice for a render with this bird. ******
Thanks for taking a look, comments etc. welcome and appreciated.
Have a nice day

Excellent scene. Poor thing may not get much rest or opportunity to feed while all these people (like me) are gawping at it... (BTW, the reeds are superb.)

Nice work Lars. The reeds really look great. As with your other works...like how you have the bird in the picture and not on top...

Outstanding work once again! The reeds are marvelous! We would never think that you would copycat anyone. Your works are always so uniquely original.

It's funny, I noticed the bittern before the chickadee. Beautiful image, the reeds are amazing, as is the water. Excellent!
