Your images inspired me to spend this weekend in your neck of the woods. Well...I'll spend the weekend in Blackwater and Monday I will head to Great Falls, before going home on Tuesday. I am hoping to get a few nice shots..not nearly as gorgeous as your series of herons at Great Falls.

I like the top far right image best. I like the crashing waves of water around it.
Mark Klotz (58 months ago | reply)
Outstanding! I love this photo.
mathetes65 (58 months ago | reply)
Just lovely; the contrast between the immobile bird and the fluid water, the dark and the light ... just great!

Great stuff, and a very cooperative subject.
btw- after looking at your collage, I think I'd actually prefer one of the shots with more dark texture in the waterfall... but I can't speak to the sharpness of the heron in those. ;)

Nice job!
Have you seen any other shots like this around? I've got a couple versions of a shot trying out this concept, but couldn't find any other people to compare to.

Really nice. Wish I could have been there with you.
