BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON

25 Comments

Black-crownI have featured this photo before in colour but thought it would lend itself nicely to black and white. That and the fact that it’s too early for photo opportunities like this. We had a snowfall yesterday, a little early for April Fools’ Day and for the return of the herons.

    Now that is a coincidence, we both featured the Night-Heron. Nice touch on the black and white treatment.

    I have a Messel bird fossil from 50-million-years ago; it is a small bird with long legs.

    You are right! This is a perfect B&W match, well detailed head and feathers.

    You were right, Belinda, the B/W comes across well here. It even captured the crown plumes outlining the back. Exquisite photo.

    He looks either deep in thought or very depressed! Lovely in mono.

    You could have told us he’s all hunched over because that rain is turning into snow. His markings make a b/w photo very effective.
