A great pair of images of herons. I'm sure I don't need to say that the second one isnt really a bird photograph :-)
You're right Anton. The subject's too small for a "real" bird photograph, and the concept's a bit too "arty". In fact, a real fisherman would have done the compositional job just as well as the heron, though probably not as elegantly :-)

This is one classy shot, like no bird photograph I've ever seen! What a simple and effective idea. Well done.
Thanks dstreet. I have to say the heron was very accommodating, and let me get to the right position to use the large cloud as compositional balance!
