I'm always amazed at the poses these guys can get into. Like they are made of rubber. :)

Great pose Gary, super detail. :)

Sweet as usual Gary! Do you carry minnows in your pockets for these guys? Seems like they are eager to please you!

Thanks Mitch

They are pretty easy to shoot and I thought a Low ISO (200) and Shallow DOF (F5.6) would make a nice shot here. You almost only see the bird and it is pretty Crisp.

Great pose Gary, super detail. :)

Thank You Phil

I was playing a little and Opened the Aperture (Shaollow DOF) and lowered the ISO 200 to increase Detail on the bird.

Thanks Michele

These are pretty easy shooting here.

Very nice pose. We don't have many GBHs left here now. They've mostly gone south.

Very nice Gary, I took a quick drive by my swamp/stream areas and only seen 1 GBH and It was huddled up pretty good.:D

We still have a good amount of them and I suspect more coming.

I made this shot with Shallow DOF and low ISO to try to Create a bird alone shot.

I tried to get a bit Creative to Isolate the Bird from Surroundings.

Gary, you can shoot some nice stuff but IMO this isn't it. It's flat with poor detail and sharpening halos. Sorry....

[Anke]

Nice shot, Gary. Great background and a lovely composition. Nice :D

That's what counts Gary. I like the way it turned out as well. Very nice images. Great detail. Well done.

[Najo]

Nice! Looks like he is hiding his neck...pretending to be a green?
