ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH

I SPOTTED THIS YELLOW CROWNED NIGHT HERON HIDING AT THE BASE OF SOME MANGROVES ABOUT SIXTY YARDS FROM WHERE I STOOD. WITH MY LONG LENSE I WAS ABLE TO FOCUS ON THE BIRD AS THE SHADED AREA JUST ABOVE THE WATER PROVIDED SOME GOOD LIGHT. GIVEN MY DISTANCE, HE REMAINED CALM AND STATIONARY, ON ONE LEG, UNTIL I WAS DONE SHOOTING.
