my rated best of gallery ( 32 ratings ) Portrait of a snowy egret

Comments welcome

Great - a long bird :)

Good one! I really like the background

Wonderful.

It's a very nice portrait, I might have tried to use the stamp tool to eliminate the smudge at the bottom center.

thanks bob ..I think ill do that for the final image ,,Although I was thinking of using my clone tool , I have not used the Stamp tool not sure what it does ....,

I like to walk and photography gives me an excuse to go and walk for miles, carrying a camera and monopod/tripod with me. It is a hobby, very expensive, but a hobby. One of many friends that I have met introduced me to the tele-beamer, a flash with a magnifier. I tried it a couple of weeks ago and the results were very good for getting details when the bird and sun did not want to move where I wanted them to. this is a photo I took when I took the trouble of placing a flash and the magnifier on the flash. The bird was in a tree so very shady.

I don't know much about html, so I interrupt my thougts, the background is gorgeous. regards, manuel

A king without feet!...but, in any case, an elegant king! Ha,ha,ha!!!...Ciaomau!

Excellent portrait and the light in the background is also very good. Best regards,

Beautiful portrait and beautiful back color and lighting, congrats Jef!!!

Nice colors. I'm missing the feet and wish the bird was turned toward the view rather than away. The dark band in the background is a little troublesome. Would be perfect if the lighter color progressed all the way up.

It's like painting. Beautiful work.

Great exposure with wonderful sharpness.

Very nice elaborated. Max compliments, El

Jeff:

 

You capture, consistently, the vision I wish I could convey: simplicity, beauty, tranquility. Your subject, in this case, has dignity; the complimentary tonality and hue of the background is exqusite. As usual, you've acheived an Asian ambiance, a perfect balance of all elements. Nothing to criticize ( by the way, I like the profile view - I disagree that a frontal view would have been more congenial - in fact, I think it would have degraded the image.) 7/7 all the way.

 

Best,

Craig

 

Very beuatifull scene, very good sharpness and background color. I only miss the feet, that's why i didnt't give a 7 for it in aesthetics! My congats!

Focus and exposure are perfect.I don't miss the feet and I agree with others that background blur at the bottom center is distracting. Still a beautiful image.

Nice Job Jeff.

 

Nice subtle colored background and detail in the Egret!

This is absolutely beautiful. You have many outstanding pictures but this one still stands out.

 

BTW, thank you for stopping by my portfolio. Next time you stop by please let me know how do you know that I have some new pictures posted. I am curious.

 

Cheers, Raymond
