Heron Putting On His Brakes

As we were driving, my friend said "STOP!" She had noticed this heron sitting by the side of a stream. I parked and we went back to try for some shots. This was one of my favorites with the light and spread of his wings as he landed.
Thanks so much for your time, suggestions, comments, favs
