Great Blue Heron, Charleston Harbor, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


A Great Blue Heron glides across harbor waters just as the sun peeks over Sullivan's Island on the horizon.

    That's a wonderful orange glow. The hint of motion in the bird adds to its grace.

    This one goes to my soul! I love how you manage to capture serenity and fast motion in the same frame.
    Happy weekend, Doug!

    I like this light vagueness of movement on the heron which crosses the image and this heat loosened by an ardent sunset.

    The low flight of the heron gives a further perspective to this gorgeous image...

    You placed the heron cleverly at this particular position in your shot!
    This gives the bird more space to fly towards left visually.
    Good idea. Another new trick from you, D!
