Love it, Great capture!

Appears to be two old friends shaking hands

Simply Fantastic...looks like it was shot with Fuji Velvia film

Good capture as far as metering goes. Work on the focus/aperture combination next time. Also, Does the Konica/Minolta 5D have mirror lockup? Did you have the anti-shake function on...this may have detracted from the sharpness.

Interesting duo! Vertical comp or crop would be better.

Also, try using a circular polarizer next time to eliminate the reflections, especially over the face of the model on the left

All comments are welcomed. This Egret fledging and parent pair is a common site

during the early winter and spring months at this site.

Can anyone positively ID this Hawk? I believe it's a Red Shouldered

hawk juvenile but others say it's a Northern Harrier.

Nice colors indeed! Were you using a filter? I would recommend that you try a split ND filter for the balancing the difference between sky and foreground exposure values, sky is exposed properly but foreground is too dark.

Also, make sure the horizon is level next time.

Here's a website that explains ND (neutral density) graduated filters http://www.singh-ray.com/

Good luck and keep practicing

Nice PS techique, however you can accomplish this with film without the use of filters and multiple exposure, see my post on photo.net titled "Beach"
