Nicely composed, Peter. You certainly have some nice environment for your egrets and herons. Whites look good.
I like the pose of the egret and the composition works nicely, Peter. Looking out my window at the sea of brown grass, it’s hard to believe it could be so green! I’m not sure, but you might want to consider straightening it on the far shoreline instead of the near side of the island or peninsula. Probably neither one is really straight.
Hi Allen & Dennis
Thank you for the comments. The Egret is on a peninsula that opens into the CT River. Here is a repost, ( I split the difference).
Peter
I like the split difference approach here, Peter. Nicely done.
Really nice frame Peter. Bird is nicely placed in the frame. Details and exposure look good. I like the scene with the peninsula the bird is on sloping down to the water. Good job on the repost adjustment too.
I like this one. Excellent composition. Pleasing colors. Nice detail and background.
Peter,
This is a wonderful environmental/habitat image with the Egret. Perfectly placed for an excellent composition as well.
Good compromise on the leveling; yeah, receding backgrounds of course don’t mean the scene isn’t level, so I think it’s good you didn’t go all the way.
No nits really. The only minor suggestion I have might be to burn down the water along the bottom; not a big deal though.
Thank you for your comments, David Schoen & Lon.
Peter
