I need to learn to look carefully at the entire scene before triggering the shutter. I was standing in the river working out the best shutter speed, carefully composing the scene, ensuring that there were no distracting elements and then snap, got it. All this whilst totally failing to see the 3ft tall grey heron about 30ft away, thankfully they do stay fairly static when waiting to pounce. Ken

Wow - nice fall leaves, great looking waterfalls and a heron lurking on the sidelines. On this side of the pond most would be asking if you had bought your lottery tickets yet

Nice closer view of the heron looking for lunch in the second image.

How interesting. It's amazing how focused we can be to where we miss other things like the Heron.

This is a super cool scene, and no wonder you were mesmerized by it all.
