Yakatme...I love this shot! Bravo... if you had wanted to add mor space in front of his/her beak, you could have gone to Image... Canvas size, and added as much as you wanted,.. be sure to use your eyedropper to select the blue , so when you fill in the extra canvas it matches! Good luck, and keep up the fabulous photography! Jeudi D. I love my D70 as well, and now have a D300, which is way cool also! |

Congrats. The blue white combo is appealing.
Looking at the wings a few moments makes them appear like duck bills captured in motion! |

*Critique Club*
Wow I haven't critiqued in a while and first one I get is this beautiful piece. I remember seeing it when I was voting thinking it had to ribbon and yes it did. Congratulations. I love how in the details you commented about what you learned in the a forum I think that really puts it into perspective for all of us, how much we can learn.
Over the image is very striking, I think the contrast between the blue sky and white bird are prefect for this shot. The border is a very nice way to frame up the shot. I also love the include of the stick the bird is standing on. The focus all the way down to the feet is prefect. There is not much I can say because it is so prefect. Nice job. |

| This rocks.. I like the crop better on the outtake than the winner. I like to see a little space between the border, but my preference isn't usually what others like. He is definitely a cool looking bird. |

I didn't vote, but did look thru the images for this challenge. I suspected that this was one of your Anhinga Trail shots, because I could see that you were close when you got the shot from the perspective, and I know that the egrets are in mating plumage at this time.
It's appropriate that it's mid winter, and the bird that you chose is a snowy egret. It's about as close to snow as we get down here LOL.
This is the "plume bird" that was hunted to near extinction for feathers for ladies hats last century, but they are getting more common now. I have seen flocks of over 50 of them in the 'Glades.
Big congrats on the blue. Go Nikon! |
