Very cool landing, Allen. Excellent job on the whites on all three images. I love the reflections, the the cutoff at the rear of the second, while I’m sure is the way it was, looks rather weird.

Love the reflections, wing sharpness, and whites of all shots, but not particularly fond of the second photo. Nice shots!

Thanks for the comments! Yes, that reflection in the second image is strange. I went back and checked the raw file and that’s the way it looks. I hadn’t noticed that before. Bummer! Thanks for catching that.

Not a really big deal.

What a lovely set of images! Nice poses and reflections in all images. I’m really enjoying the 3rd image of the egret dancing in the water.

Well seen, captured and processed.
