Oly day it was - oh, just 15mn at lunch time, while crossing that bridge on foot to get to my usual place
downdown.
About the framing, blur, composition and else, you're so right, but I wanted to share a bit of the narrative with you
all.
The heron was struggling against the current - cf tipsy me - using its wings to find a balance, even walking backwards as shown in "bacon
home".
Gotcha is already a crop 1/3 - the original gives another idea but I loved the light
Thanks for your kind comments David.
