Terrific image, Dick! Wonderful detail, color and lighting! Michael #7256402Dick Jenkins March 07, 2009
Thank you both, Rod and Michelle. I was thinking of you Michelle as I posted this image. I was hoping that you to be able to see it. This aspect of nature has stolen my heart, and I so look forward to the mating season of the wading birds. It's just a marvelous happening when the Great Egret takes on that teal green mask and beautiful plumage for a brief few months. As I learn more about light I am rewarded with such captures. Here you can see that the setting sun has painted the water with a rich golden hue. #7256416Dick Jenkins March 07, 2009
Thank you Michael. Living here along the Gulf coast of Florida I'm fortunate to be able to witness such things. I see that you are a nature lover as well. #7256438Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
