Love the Ibis silhouette. Colorful bird when lit up. Nice composition, P.J.!

Yesterday was a miserable day, the weather was just perfect, I took the day off, and went to Motor Vehicles, and spent 5 hours waiting, 20 minutes to get a number and the rest for a clerk to take care of a 5 minute transaction... Well I didn't spend all that time there, I did take a hour in the middle to go get lunch, but if I missed my number I'd have to start all over again... Afterward I stopped at the Hammonasset State Park, to try to catch some Harbor Seals, there were rumors of them but no seals, (they spend a couple of weeks, more or less, here then disappear to wherever they spend the summer, and repeat in the fall going to their winter quarters). So I made due with other wild life. The previous Redwing Blackbird shot and Cormorant on the rock were taken there, as was this, Blue Heron, back lit and almost silhouetted. I thought of rendering it as black and white, but really what would be the point. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20---%20%20bluenoreally.html I'm processing a few of the better shots and then winnowing them down to what I consider the best, either due to content, composition, or what I laughingly call technical quality. So maybe coming soon a GESO of my usual tripe. Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/smc Pentax A*300mm f4.0 w/smc F 1.7x AF adapter.
