Artist's Comments

just as i get to the beach to take photos, i come across this huge, blue heron. just standing there. he didn't seem bothered by me taking his picture. infact, he didn't even care.
as soon as i got up, and wrapped up my camera, he left. it was my first time seeing a bird like that. lucky enough i was taking photos. seeing him fly reminded me of dinosaurs. i would of followed him if not for the stupid rocks around the beach (it was low tide when i saw it).

Note: This was displayed at a gallery showing at Exposure Gallery's 'Salon Show' exhibit last june 19th, 2009.

I re-edited this piece, see which one you like more:

This is simply a remarkable photo that is almost surreal. The wow factor speaks for itself. Mr. Herring by ~JGDA9RS (Featured by ^ForksOfTheSalad)

rofl hahahaha. damn, i got screwed by that person then.. i asked a couple what kind it was, and they said it was a blue herring. interesting enough, when i looked it up on the internet, i got the same pictures of that bird, but mainly called the blue heron. thanks for the info!! and thanks for stopping by. glad you liked the photo :D

The colours are quite beautiful, indeed. I loike to white border you added - it adds to it a lot.

Did it stay still for a long time? I know they do, I've seen them many times myself, actually. They are quite graceful fliers, as well.
