Cool images, Peter. I like the second the best because the pose doesn’t create any overlap between features of the Egret. The crest tends to get lost in the first image. The third and fourth are quite good, just not quite what that second one is.

Excellent shots of the egret coming in for a landing, Peter. I went for the fourth one, as I like that wing postion best.

All nice poses Peter with the second image being my favorite with the back stretched wings and no intersection with the bird’s head or neck. Nice exposure on the whites. Love seeing the golden feet.

Hi Dennis, Allen Brooks & Allen Sparks
Thank you for the comments. Snowys almost always put on a show.

Neat shots! I like the 2nd one best. The position of the bird is more of a dramatic landing posture, the wings are stretched and sharp, and I love the fluffy head feathers! The feet get a little more lost in the third for me in the 3rd photo. All very nice and pleasing though!

Hey Peter.
These are nice. I agree with several others that the second shot is the most interesting. It’s the view.
Snowy, our kind of show offs. And I guess there’s good reason for that with the hair.

I’m finally starting to get some where with my dystonia. If I relax enough, I have a little less pain when I lie in my back, but it is still pretty intense. I need to be fairly sedated to get some sleep.
David.
