One of my favorite shore birds. I would love to capture one of these with plumage flowing in the breeze...they are a beautiful species.
Trish,
He/she is a real beauty Like you, I really love their plumage. Those long thin feathers are so beautiful. You did a splendid job of capturing those feathers on this guy/gal. Very, very, nice
I have a real hard time finding snowys like yours. The ones I've been shooting have the feathers sticking out behind the head, but very little back plumage Yours has so much, it almost ressembles a GBH....lol
I don't know much about birds, but maybe it's a male/female thang. You know how male birds always seem be more colorful, or richly detailed, than the females. Basically the opposite of us humans....lol So maybe yours is a male and I'm shooting females I'm getting good shots, I'd just like to see some more feathers
hey Steve,
Thanks for your comments. I saw a photograph in a store the other day...it was out of this world! This snowy..with the tail plume standing up, the light was spectactular. What a shot. I have not watched these too much..but after seeing that photo..I will be watching them a lot more.
The Snowy Egret is my favorite bird to shoot and you did a fine job on this one. The details, colors and compo are on the mark.
I've been laid up with the flu for the past week and haven't been able to get out and shoot. I'm feeling like a junkie who is going cold turkey. :cry

Harry,
Sorry to hear you have the flu :cry
I am not feeling too hot myself today and hoping I am not getting it....
Thanks for your kind comments. This little guy would not let me photograph from any other view...pretty darn stubborn...but I am in hot pursuit of getting one of these one day with those tail feathers up!
