Hello everyone,
D o not ask me what the bird 's name is , i have no clue ,if someone out there knows it please let me know ! I do remember that this bird came to land on the rail of a pontoon ( belonging to a large hotel located on the road that runs along the Panama Canal )tied to a pier in a small swampy stretch of water right by the Canal. He remained still for a long while and i had plenty of time to take my camera ( a Sony DSC-H1 at the time --my first digital camera ) and prepared for the picture for 2 long minutes, made a few shots and i left before he did ! Not easily scared away, cool guy !
F/3.5 ,1/60 ,Bluured the BG some more for a better effect ,corrected exposure a tad ,,highlights and sharpened as well , framed,
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment or doing a WS,
Carol

Peut-être un martin pêcheur local ? Très belle photo bien nette et une belle maîtrise de la lumière.

Hi Carol,
Great capture, I am sure it is from the Herons and Egrets family but am not sure of the exact name, you have captured the colours and details well, good sharpness and a nice POV.
Well done
Regards Andy

Bonjour Carol
Quelle posture surprenante qui fait penser à un comportement "low profile" de personne gênée!
Beau travail sur le décor qui facilite l'attention sur la plumage bien détaillé, travail d'un chasseur d'images attentionné.
Amicalement.
Robert

Very nice shot, Carol :o)
Great sharpness and well saturated colors.
Great! Congratulations and TFS!

Saudações,
Bruno
