I was out at Ft. Desoto last weekend using a better beamer for the first time. I managed to make the emerald water look ugly brown in too many shots. I will have to work on that , but it was a learning experience and that is allways a good day. One close up of a White Morph that I do like.

    Images like this one is one of the reasons Ihang out here. A real pleasure to view. A tad irritating too because I haven't been able to get a reddish egret white morph capture yet. Great BG, good detail and fine composition. Excellent work Robert. clap.gif

    One minor nit though and its a minor one. I thought I saw some haloing around the upper bill and when I zoomed in I saw that I was right. It could be from the cop or from sharpening. If its sharpening that's easy enough to avoid in the future or on a reworking of this image. Not a biggie but its there.

    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!"

    Thanks Harry. I really appreciate your advice on how to make the shot better. You really have a good eye, I noticed the halo also, and reduced it in final processing. I will give it another look. I cant wait to capture one of these in breeding plumage, Hope you find yours also.

    Thanks Wossa, I thought the picture may not be well received due to the tight crop. I am glad you like it.
