Beautiful Lars.  Great colours too

Top one, Lars!

Wow, impressive!

Top one, Lars!

Many, many thanks Paco, John and Bruno! 
It was an instinctive shot I took when the Heron flew after I had taken a casual shot. It was probably annoying having to keep an eye on me instead of fish in the water ... my luck.

Enghaveparken at night

Kasper - very nice. I got a few flashbacks to Vesterbro in the 1980's when I worked close to Enghaveparken and always walked through the park to/from work. Your image also gives flashbacks to the Danish photographer Viggo Rivad's BW photography.

Thank you

I'm not familiar with Rivad's work, will look up straight away.

Were the water basins and the statue also there in the 80s?

I'm pretty sure the statue were there in the 80's - as far as I know it's an iconic statue from the 1920's. The basins were smaller and with shallow water - it has been changed into a much larger water reservoir compared to the 80's as part of a climate project.     

Your image is like an homage to Rivad - I hope you've had time to look him up.

Thank you for the elaboration on statue & basins.

I've googled Rivad and don't seem that many likenesses. Can you recommend any good books with a more varied presentation of his works?

Loved this quote:

Den danske fotograf Viggo Rivad er død. Journalist Poul Pilgaard Johnsen skriver på Facebook:
"Viggo Rivad er død 93 år gammel. Han boede i en 2-værelsers på Kastrupvej på Amager og ernærede sig i lange perioder som taxichauffør. Og så var han måske den bedste Venedig-fotograf i verden. Jeg elsker stadig dette billede, som jeg købte af ham for 15 år siden"

My point is your shot has similar expression as to some of Viggo Rivads B/W work that gave me flashbacks.   

I don't know of any particular books, but take a look here: https://viggorivadphotography.net/
