I consider the Great Blue Heron my totem and reminder of the gift of life I have been given. It has been a symbol of mine my entire life and a reminder that my Father isn’t far away although no longer here. His pose and peacefulness was too gorgeous to pass up on trying to get a shot.Editing
I’m honestly an amateur so excuse me if I don’t know all of the lingo! I did use LR to play with and adjust the sharpness, clarity and color vibrancy. But he was so BEAUTIFUL it didn’t take much!In my camera bag
