Mr Meanie, by wild Images

Callie, or wild Images - as he is known on the Digital Photography Now forum and gallery,is our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day this Friday. In all truth, we haven't heard from Callie for some time, and we do miss him and his spectacular imagery from the bush in South Africa. Images like the one we're featuring today, of a Green-backed Heron, photographed at the Sunset Dam, in the Kruger National Park. Callie calls this picture 'Mr.Meanie' and you can see why. This heron is no elegant beauty, but he (or she?) is an impressive looking bird, nevertheless. Although very modest about his photography, humbly conceding that it's easier to get great shots like these because of where he is based, I still believe Callie earns a high degree of credit for the brilliance of the images in his gallery. Hope to see you again, soon, Callie!
