Early morning sunlit heron

Through my window I spied a heron basking in the morning sunlight. I'm pleased I took the risk of shooting through the glass as it flew away within minutes.

I love the DOF - it adds so much to a wonderful image.

@happypat I thought that was a little bit of feather but good spotting

@robz Thank you Rob We are intentionally 'focusing' on depth of field over the next couple of months so this is a bit of practice for me.
