Description

This shot is one of a blessed one! Last fall, in vacations,my sister told me about this heron coming very early each morning on the lake shore, in front of her house...She woke me up early each morning as he was suddenly appearing after the fog dissipate in just few seconds...But..as soon as he fell any movement or noise..he flew away...so it took several days and dozens of shots without any heron or just a wing...lol...and suddenly, one morning..I just had to clic...my sister said to me..''Hey..come on..woke up...it's time...you will have a great shot here...'' and that was it...Thank's to my sister that did the major part of the work...I owe her a lot of of nice pics I took in vacations in her forest! lumix DmCFZ10, zoom leica 420 mm, f2,8 Post processing in psp with color modification to warm it up as it was mostly blue! Hope you enjoy! Thank's for your comments on my lasts post and essays with black and white toning...please do not hesitate to comment something that is not well done..I really would appreciate...It really helps to self improovement..as mom would never tell a negative comment to her little daughter,s '' art''...lol ;-D
