Hi from the Aligator Farm

Great White Egret, Alligator Farm, St Augustine Florida

Wow, what a crowd, standing room only on the boardwalk here. We are having a load of fun here and meeting so many people from BPN. Lots of birds, good food and even just polished off a half bottle of Cab just now at the pool.:p

The Egrets are very elegant landing, loads of cattle egrets as well and the chicks are very cute...the baby birds are too! *lol*

Above is a quickie shot I took yesterday.

Nikon D3, 200-400VR@440mm, x1.4, ISO 800, 1/800, f8. Hand Held.

Like the pose and the POV, composition looks good to me too. Image is a tad dark on my monitor, looks like it could have used about +1/3 f-stop exposure compensation.

Even if I am sharing a room with you, that is a nice image. The original rocks. It is great meeting all the BPN folks here and having a great time with them. Special thanks to Robert O.

Hey George.
Beautiful picture, i am glad that the stick is not blocking the eye.
it was nice meeting you and Bob today.

Hi back to you :)

Hard to tell from the laptop, but I think it may go a little brighter. Great plumage detail!

We'll see to at the Farm later and then, the pool and the olives :)

The exposure is spot on! and the detail is fantastic!
