Awesome capture. I love how the heron is in focus in spite of the slow shutter slowing the movement of the falls. Nice capture of light in the water with good clarity of the heron. Very well done.

Thank you very much! I had taken a fair number of photos of this Heron in the river with the falls behind him, and he seemed to blend in when I viewed the photo in my camera. That is when I decided to take a chance and slow the shutter speed down to make him stand out. Apparently ...it worked! :)

Captured this photo at a barrel racing event which I covered. Manage quite a number of good shots but really loved the way the muscle rippled on this

Sunrise on Horses

This composition is created from 2 separate photos of my Clydesdale gelding and some clouds and digitally edited to look like a painting.

My nephew is a bit camera shy, but it made for an interesting photo all the same. :)

A frosty morning sunrise in February.

These clouds, while slightly menacing, where also beautiful. If anyone can identify this cloud type, I would be happy to hear from you. :)

My reflection in my Clydesdale gelding's eye. Even his shadow is captured, interesting!

View of a stunning 'parklet' off hwy 7 near Tweed, Ontario. It was a very overcast day, but it made for smooth water and perfect reflections.

Sunrise on a misty and foggy October morning. I thought the spider web was appropriate for October. ;)
