Hi Stuart,
It was nice having you. I hope you can apply everything we talked about in your future images. I did a little "clean up" to your Reddish Egret. Field instructions are half of the battle! We now have to tune up our images with photoshop as well! A simple BG clean up and a hair more of sharpening did the trick for this one.
Take care and thanks once again!

Excellent detail in your original Stuart, and Maxis has shown us how to add a lttle extra with pp work. Still, well captured.

Great landing! Love that pose and the almost spot-on head angle. Good repost too BTW. Well done and congrats!

Sturart, your one up on me. nice Reddish Egret, no fantastic! Love the wings and details in the red mane. The eyes are so intent.

Stuart,
The image is sharp and exposed well. I'm not a huge post shutter clean up guy, but the repost is more appealing. Perhaps a lower angle would have put the seaweed under the Reddish and not been an issue.
I love the back of the wings, but believe a head angle more toward the image plane would make this an even stronger image.
So you like sitting in water:D. Man do I have a treat for you.

Great catch Stuart and nice work Maxis (not that Stuart's needed a lot of change).
