Great Blue Heron, was building his nest in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Cleveland Ohio in March of 2014

Nikon D610,,Nikon 28 to 300mm lens

shot in raw f/5.6 at 1/800sec, iso 1600, focal length 300mm, WB/auto
edited in ps/cc and Nik filters to sharpen, reduce noise and white balance

The male heron was gathering sticks and returning them back to the female at the nest. By using f/5.6 it gave me good separation from the trees in the background

Great capture; good isolation. It would be nice to see what this exposure would look like with the bird moving towards the middle of the frame... (i.e., bird more in the left third with negative space in the right of the frame), as opposed to being in the middle of the frame.
