    Nice ones Eric thumb.gifthumb.gif

    That second one is really nice. I like that it captures the curve of it's neck and the detail is super clap.gif

    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!"

    My favorite is the NEXT to last shot! I love feathers and preening of them.

    nice shots!

    ginger (I have certainly contributed to Egret fest, and I have more..........just trying to read a book, besides............after a while. well, they start to look alike. I actually have Night Heron shots that I should/could post. Some of which have been worked up)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
