Description
During a recent visit to the Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge, which is located along the Gulf of Mexico coast south of Tallahassee, Florida Deb & I came upon this Great Blue Heron (scientific name is Ardea Herodias) as it looked to be settled down for a rest on a dead tree branch. Of course, being it was such a beautiful heron we started shooting right away. This is actually my image, which I shot with my Nikon camera plus my 150-600mm Sigma lens. When I captured this image I did so using the full 600mm of zoom to get as much feather details as possible. Furthermore, I was hand-holding the camera with the image stabilizer engaged to, hopefully, prevent blur. You can be the judge of whether of not it worked. Please be assured should you wish to purchase a copy of this image to have printed on photo-paper, canvass or any of Fine Art America's (FAA) many other available medias FAA's watermark will NOT appear on your printed media when you receive it as FAA removes the watermark before it goes to print. All visits to our FAA-Pixels art site are welcomed, encouraged and appreciated. Please visit often and, if you will, tell your family and friends about our art site. They may find something they like and thank you. Thank you for visiting. Bill & Deb Hayes
