This is a really nice shot... I love the sweet golden light... Can tell it was right before sunset by the extreme shadows produced by the chain

Shot in the early morning light at Fort DeSoto Park in Pinellas

County, FL

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for sharing... If this were my photo I would selectively blur the background, in particular the very visible netting/fence/cage... This will give it a more natural look... As I said, this is just my opinion, take it for what it's worth :-) (and it's not worth very much)

 

 

Excellent shot! I love how they're both turning back and keeping an eye on ya!

Nice light on this one!

Photo taken from the top of a tall observation tower overlooking a

local nature park... It provides some unique flight shot

opportunities, as a lot of times the birds are at or below eye-level.

Hi there, nice shots of this family... Was this at Wakodohatchee Wetlands?

Really nice timing! My only nit is that the tail of the fish is clipped off. Thanks for sharing!

Whoa, talk about biting off more than you can chew!~ Nice moment captured here.

I like it... If this were my image I'd clone out the wires and other elements that aren't natural... Basically just leave the nest and bird. That's just me though, it's still a nice image either way.

Nice shot, I love the open beak!

This is a young great horned owl that was still on the nest and

being fed by its parents as of this past weekend. I expect that mom

and dad will be pushing him/her out of the nest sometime soon...

All C and C welcome!

Nice shot, good and sharp and well exposed.

Randy, as I stated in my previous post "on my monitor" it appeared to be over exposed. I was just giving an honest assessment of what I saw. When I look at it on my monitor at work (which has been calibrated) I now see that indeed it is not overexposed.

Randy, these birds are very tough to exposure properly. On my monitor the whites are overexposed. When I'm photographing these birds in harsh light (it appears the light was rather harsh when this was taken) I purposefully error on the side of slightly underexposing rather than over exposing... It's almost impossible to bring out natural looking detail in overexposed highlights, however underexposed highlights can be fixed and made to look excellent... If you'd like to see an example of what I'm talking about just let me know!

All comments and constructive critism are appreciated!

Very nice, classic redish egret pose. These guys are a lot of fun to watch as they splash around the shallows. I have never seen a white morph of this species, I would love to though!

Nice environmental shot, well composed... The purple blossoms in the foreground are a nice addition.

Taken at Fort DeSoto Park in Pinellas County, Florida... I spent

about an hour on my belly in the wet sand watching this little

fella... All comments appreciated!
