Amazingly both the Green Heron, in the foreground, and the Great Blue Heron, in the background were near each other at one point during my morning visit to the Caldwell Lily Pool. Using my long lens only one of them could be in focus; here I focused my lens on the Green Heron. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergIn this image, the Great Blue Heron is the star of the image. An artist/photographer has choices and decisions to make each time they produce an image. Such is creativity. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergUsing a different camera, I was able to focus on both Herons. Notice that the entire scene is basically in focus. Our eyes and brain tend to “see” this way, but perhaps less overall focus in a scene is less confusing. Though I do like highlighting both birds in this composition since it’s so seldom to see them in same space with same posing. “Art” is in the eye of the beholder so you can decide which image you prefer.
