Very nice in sepia. BTW, if you want heron shots, come visit FL someday. Herons, egrets, spoonbills, and more. All you could hope for.

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

Hear, hear, I'm Lord Heron, and I allowed Mrs. MaryB to photograph me, under the strict condition that my dignity and nobility would be expressed in the portrait. Thanks to the traditional sepia - I despise modern colors - she has very well succeeded in this assignment of mine and I hereby appoint her to my personal photographer.
