- Info A great blue heron (Ardea herodias) on a frozen pond during golden hour. I saw it on the pond, where it appeared to be hunting, so I watched it for a while hoping for a shot of it breaking through the ice. Alas, it never did, but it did walk into the sunlight, where for a few moments it was brightly lit atop the darkest part of the ice. all by — Rhododendrites talk | 18:01, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

- Support I thought at first "How can it be walking on the water? Is it Bird Jesus?" then I remembered that it has been rather, uh, chill around here lately and figured it out. Daniel Case (talk) 21:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - I've uploaded a new version. The right crop has been bothering me, and was noted by a couple people above. Since it's just dark ice, I took the liberty of adding some space to the right in Photoshop. I was happy with the results, so decided to upload it despite the original receiving a lot of support already. Pinging all past participants, in case there are objections. @Martin Falbisoner, Daniel Case, Cayambe, Vulphere, GRDN711, Cmao20, Basile Morin, Schnobby, Iifar, Agnes Monkelbaan, Poco a poco, Ikan Kekek, Ermell, Llez, IamMM, Johann Jaritz, The Cosmonaut, Tournasol7, and Radomianin: (sorry about the mass ping). — Rhododendrites talk | 22:04, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- Many thanks for the ping, the slight extension to the right completes the picture a bit more. Thanks for your retouching work :) -- Radomianin (talk) 22:15, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
