A beautiful scene, Allen. I’m partial to the first image. I like how the red and green leaves cover the entire top, while in the second image there’s more of a bare spot in the left upper corner. I also prefer the placement of the egret in the first image. I also like the brighter look of the first image.
I prefer the first image both for the composition and the brighter presentation, Allen. Both are nice, but flipping back and forth between them, I find that I have a definite preference.
Very nice, quiet and colorful image! I like the contrast between the white of the egret and the autumn reds, and the “landscape with bird” composition. I like better the first image, also for the pose of the egret.
Allen, great photo! Both great but I like the first one better with the color extending across the entire top and the position of the Egret. A great image of the fall.
