This is a female Great Egret awaiting her mate.

Thanks to Blue Moon for her comment about the color. I have made an adjustment, and think it is a significant improvement.

Doing his best impression of a peacock, I take it? Love the pose and the way the bird is framed so nicely by the foliage.

Gorgeous capture. To me he form this bird presents is like a bird of paradise flower.

Nice capture and a good pose. There is a slight green tint to the white feathers.

great capture but ultimately it's just off the pace in terms of clarity and exposure - good luck - 6

A solid image that is properly framed and composed but suffers from a soft focus- a technical success with a minor flaw. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal.A good entry into the challenge.

well I've never seen that before! very nice but it looks like some color correction needs to be done as I can see cyan in the feathers and also some noise reduction in the BG as well
