| Blue Heron in Fall Color at Cranberry Pond Leverett/Shutesbury Photo by Eric M. Berlin |
Sometimes a photo submission just cannot be denied. That was the case with this photo, the featured image for November in our 2021 Head in the Clouds Amherst calendar. It violated one of our key cornerstone guidelines about images having to depict a recognizable location (close-ups rarely provide a sense of "place,"), but the jury was so taken with the photo they opted to override the guidance.
Titled "Blue Heron in Fall Color at Cranberry Pond" (Leverett/Shutesbury), this photo was taken by Eric M. Berlin. This image did not come easily. As Eric describes, “I spent several days trying to capture this heron in the context of fall color. I consistently failed to get low enough to get the foliage in the background until I realized this composition.”
Enjoy!
