Description
Bonaire, Netherland Antilles
I was in between scuba dives, hanging out by the dock, when this heron landed 15 feet away, looking for a meal. The amazing was the fact that I went back to my room, grabed my camera with an 80-200mm lens, came back and he was still there. I was able to shoot 4 rolls of film before he left.
Nikon N90, Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 Fuji asa 50 Velvia. Exposure: f/4 at 1/500th

The water splashes make the picture IMHO.

I agree...there's a lot of movement against the very statuesque heron because of the powerful water

I love the symbioze between the burd and the water, the splashes are fantastic. Seems he was enjoying the session:)

I don't who had more fun, me or the heron !! I was shaking from excitement because I was able to get so close, less than 15 feet, and I was still less than 50 feet from my hotel room. Bonaire is famous for flamingos, which are very skittish and difficult to get close to, it's a rare and amazing thing to be so close to a wild animal.
