The Tall Grass

In May 10th post, I said that that picture reminded me of another photo.  Here is the one I had in mind.

This is another environmental shot of a great blue heron.  The two things I like about this photo are that the light bird is nicely framed within a shadowy area, making it stand out nicely and, if you know how large a bird they are, you realize how tall that marsh grass is.  When you view it from across the river, it doesn't look that tall.
