About this artwork
The thing about Great Blue Herons is that their plumage changes radically with time. Emil photographed this one, in full adult courtship plumage, on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean south of Morro Bay, California. The black background gives the effect of using a high-powered photographic flash at night and emphasizes the subtle variations in coloration of this large bird.
