Great Blue Heron, Viera Wetlands, Viera, Florida. I have been trying to get the right timing and conditions to shoot the sun rising behind a group of palm trees at Viera Wetlands for a couple of years now. There are only a couple of times a year when the sun comes up in a where you can get a clear shot of the nesting area. This bird was scratching when the shot was made, so it looks like he's grabbing at the sun. Canon 1DX MKII, Canon EF800mm f/5.6 IS USM. ISO 800, 1/1250sec, f/13.⠀----James Neihouse, A.S.C
