This Great Blue Heron actually looked like a fake cut-out against the water as he sailed by before touching down!
He slid in gracefully, for a nice smooth landing . . . 
And then strolled around looking quite elegant 🙂
I don’t think he was even foraging for something to eat. . . !
Just strutting, looking very debonair – and showing off his reflection. Very handsome~!

I know what you mean “fake cut-out look”. I’ve noticed that same effect on my shots, always of this same bird. Great photos!

Curious, isn’t it? I’ve also noticed this effect before in mine and others’ photos of the great blue heron. I wonder what the cause of this is??
