    The second shot is very good ,nice exposure I would have given it a little more room and not so tight a crop. It looks like it was really cloudy good job on exposures

    Thanks Jeff, I agree# 2 is to tight. I was behind, tracking the bird, and the photo ended up with the bird too far forward in the picture. I will take it back to photoshop and and rework the comp.

    Excellent set Robert, especially the last image.

    Yoyur rework of the great egret image is a definite improvement. There are a number of ways to add cnavas to a capture. A quick and dirty way with oen with a sky BG is jsut to copy the original image, paste it as a new layer onto the original, convert the new layer to a smart object, then use the move tool to add more sky to the image. You will have to clone out a slight line between the two layers.

    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!"
