Hi you'll:wave

A goodly number of egrets have started to hang out in the Wetlands lately.

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!"

    I don't think that's blur or you would see it on other parts of the egret, especially the wings that were moving. The feathers under the wing are less defined and more matted giving it a blurred look.

    All my shots are cool man, oh you mean the wb. In that case I don't think so. There's just more water in the first shot. The color of the water in both shots is about the same.

    20" of snow :yikes I will be watching the news from my hot tub tonight and feeling bad for all of you up north.

    The problem withh swamps is that you have grass in all the wrong places.

    Thanks for the kind words

    Thanks. Have fun in the wetlands. The place is overrun by great egrets right now and a limpkin is hanging around also. I saw the nest but no one was home. Probably because he was flying around and scaring all the other birds.

    That first one is pretty nice Harry!

    I think your exposures have gotten better over the last few
    rounds. The detail in these is spectacular!

    Hey Ian,

    Thanks for the kind words. Ever since I took the Reznick Workshop I have been concentrating on exposure. I've been using the camera's histogram much more and making the necessary adjustments as I shoot.
