Preparing for Take-off

I've been interested in the 2 herons that live at the pond for some time, trying to get some interesting pictures. But most of the time, they just sit on the shore or in the trees. This morning, I had plenty of time (and patience). This is the best shot I made (in my opinion). I hope you like it as much as I do.
Have a great weekend and enjoy another 18°C-afternoon :))
