You've done well!

Difficult subject, I'm speechless

Excellent Donna - more than glad to see you back ... !

 

Clarity and composition stand out the most for me ... Especially the composition.

Great capture of a beautiful bird!

Lovely lighting and tack sharp.

veru good.

Donna- Really interesting composition & subject. My only complaint is the one tiny spot of lens dust in the upper right.

Good stuff 6/6. The dust is easily taken out with the heal brush in PS:)

I like the different viewpoint. Looks like you were well beneath. I thought it was a branch from the thumbnail, but now I see it is a metal pipe. Where were you? Nice job Donna.

Nice bird shot Donna.

This is so nice Donna - the graduation of the blue in the background and the pose of the bird together with the composition makes it special.

Great catch. Sondra

Hi Donna welcome back with that good work.very well captured. Pnina

Superb !

thanks everyone for your comments. . .

 

Bryan, this heron was poised on a shrimp boat. . . all his attention was focused on the Vietnamese fisherman who was about to open the net full of the morning's fresh catch. . . he was completely oblivious of me. . . I was standing on the adjacent dock . .

So beautiful light-ing and what a wonderful curious bird dear Donna!

Thank you daer!
