Took this picture today of a landing grey heron (Ardea cinerea).

By the aid of some post processing, I think it turned out pretty OK despite a low light situation.

Cheers, Jens.

I think it turned out pretty darn good too Jens! The only little nit pick is.. the top right corner, I would like to see a touch darker to take the distraction away and give more contrast to the Heron. Hey, I've never got a shot of these birds! Good stuff. Regards, Randall

Great shot again Jens,
I love those birds special when they land and take off you can see the enormes wing size at its best..
Well done....

Nice one

Good shot Jens.
Where was it taken. And BTW what is the salt and pepper effect you mention?

Mvh
