21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
A Great blue heron stands very still in a Louisiana bayou.

We were in a small boat in the Cypress Island Nature Reserve taking pictures of "swamp" animals, when we can across this Great blue heron standing in a front of a grove of Cypress tress. With the bird's image reflected in the still water, it seemed a very peaceful scene.
