Found this little Green Heron at the Lake Marion Boat Ramp in the early morning light. I think it caught either a shrimp or small fish.

Thanks Liz, the still water and early morning light help with the photos looking like that :D

Do you still have the original pic before editing? I'd like to see if you don't mind.

Of course I do Liz and happy to comply :) I do some cropping, basic edits and noise reduction and in PS I removed some of the foreground leaves.

These are straight out of the camera Liz...

Depends on the photo Liz and what I wish to do with it. I actually do create more "artistic" stuff :)

Pat, I've got a number of paintings I'm working on, but when caught up, I'm DEFINITELY painting that first pic

Great pictures, Pat! :)
In my experience, green herons could also be called duck hunters' bane. There's nothing that looks quite like a surprise wood duck encounter than a green heron zipping through the decoys. They'll usually got me grabbing the gun when I duck hunted.

Wow, what a stunning capture! The early morning light adds such a magical touch to the scene. The Green Heron looks so graceful, and it's fascinating that it caught either a shrimp or a small fish. Nature's moments like these are truly enchanting. Thanks for sharing this beautiful snapshot from Lake Marion Boat Ramp! 🌅🦩🎣
