On this grey and dull afternoon a great blue heron was fishing at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. Eventually, as the light was fading the sun came out and made a spectacular sunset and I captured the heron catching a fish.

Thank you much. That bird and day just kept improving. Eventually the sun came out and I captured the heron catching a fish at sunset. Really unbelievable.
I was using my old Nikon D3S camera with a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8g ed vr ii lens at 200mm. I was pretty darn close to the bird. Maybe 50 to 75-feet away.
The spot that heron chose was perfect for such an amazing photo, beautiful caught moment in time. The way the long branch with it's reflection makes a teardrop shape, truly mesmerizing 💙

What I wouldn't give to have their long legs, lol
(But those backward bending knees...🤔)
Superb and unique shot.
