Great Blue Heron ~ Fall in France

            This little guy was fishing under some low overhanging branches.  My wife and I saw him when we came into the park and I hoped he'd still be there when we left.  Sure enough, there he still was and the light was perfect.  As you can see, the bird is brightly lit and the background is in deep shadow (the canal bank and undergrowth beneath the trees).

Some "reviewers" have said that the Tamron 150-600mm SP goes a little "soft" on the long end of things.  I have to smile as the Sony A6000 sensor is unforgivingly sharp.  If a lens it "poor", it'll show up immediately.  These images of the GBH seem sharp enough to me.  :-)
