Came across this today after work. Using a rented Nikon VR 80-400mm. This is the longest lens I have every used. I like the reach but think I would prefer a 300mm AF S better (I want to rent the 300mm next). Lens is nice but I have gotten spoiled by my 70-200 f2.8s auto focus. Can only dream about holding a AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR...maybe someday. MM

    Good shot under difficult lighting. I like the pose and how the eye stand outs. thumb.gif

    You have few blown out areas, top of head and the shoulder area.

    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!"

    Thank you Harry!
    White who ever thought it could be such a difficult color. I was trying to show the difference between the grey white clouds and the stark white of the Egret. Not sure it worked but I still get a smile from it anyways. Egrets for me are very hard to photograph. You have so many fantastic images of them, most times when I look at some of yours it leaves me thinking.. How did he do that? Thanks for the great comment. MM
