A close-up shot of a great blue heron in a body of water with brown, yellow tones. The great blue heron takes up the center of the frame and is positioned at a diagonal. Its body is directed to the left, and its head is towards the right. It has a white face with a dark blue cap. There is also a dark line that goes horizontally along the head. From the back of the head, there are what looks like whisker hair that extends out from the back of the head. Its beak is a triangular yellow shape with a very sharp point. Extending down from the beak, moving toward the body, the heron’s neck is a combination of white and grey shades. The body is a bluish-grey color. The feathers are long and thin, each with individual detailing separating each distinct feather. The two long legs are positioned slightly behind the heron’s body in the frame. The legs are a light brown-grey color with small, detailed scales. Its legs are submerged in the water. A few blades of grass are visible near the heron’s legs in the bottom left corner of the frame. The background of the photo has a mix of yellow and brown murky body of water.
