    Great shots...
    Very nice composition and you nailed the exposure on two difficult subjects: the white and black birds...

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice captures Ric, and very good exposure control on both the images.

    Thanks!

    I didn't think I got anything worthwhile on the egret capture until I reviewed it on the PC. That BG is almost the way it was...provided by deep shadows from a distant tree line. I only had to get rid of a few bits where the light snuck through.
