Thanks to all who have commented, critiqued and assisted me in my photography.. I have enjoyed every minute on BPN and love being apart of the community...Your fine images inspire me to improve at this game we all enjoy so much.:5:wave:
Dumay:
Congrats on 2001 !
This is one of the images that looks much better than the thumbnail, and a pleasant surprise when opened. The bird is sharp, nicely exposed, neat pose, but it is the streaked background adding a real sense of speed to the image that really sets it off for me.
I never think of herons as being very speedy, but this guy looks it!
Thanks for your participation, fine photos and insightful comments.
Cheers

Sweet image Dumay! Awesome light and colours and excellent tech. If anything maybe a bit too big in the frame.
Super sharp with an very good EXP. BGKR loverly and great that you got its head below the "horizon" line.
This capture is not what I expected from viewing the thumbnail AT ALL! So sharp and such detail. Love the sense of speed created here. Lovely light. Wouldn't mind a tad more room.
Great one. Love the BG. Excellent motion image.
this is superb image with that subtle complimenting bkgr colors. loved the pan effect of bg. the bird pose and perfect light angle.
Greatview of the topside with really nice light. I like thesoft bgas well as your opening statement. I too feel I am learning from all here.
Dumay, congrats and thx for sharing so many wonderful shots from your neck of the woods.
loved this one...top-side view is excellent...so is the light and the details. good call on all the techs. A little room around will help but am liking the tightness as well. The HA really makes a big difference here.
As others I love the sense of speed and the overall IQ. Comp a bit tight, but very well done...quite an appealing image.
Congrats on 2K1!!! Your participation here on BPN is much valued and appreciated:cheers:
Thanks for the suggestions and comments folks...Funny, I thought it was a bit tight during and after processing...Should trust the instinct:e3
Congrats again. Good DOF across the wingspread, and you have nailed the sharpness. Colours on the heron look spot on, as do the BG colours. Im sure this will look really big in print.:w3
This is really nice. It really pops from the BG and has a real nice 3d look to it.
I agree just a bit more room all around.
Fantastic light, pose and bg, Dumay. Terrific sharpness and details.
Congrats on your milestone and thank you for sharing your wonderful work.
excellent pose and details Dumay! congrats on millstone
Thanks for all the comments folks!
You nailed this one beautifully Dumay :bg3:
Great sharpness and as others have said, the background really makes the heron pop.
Great image to celebrate your milestone, Dumay. Perfectly sharp where it counts and just a hint of blur on the wing tips and streaky BG results in a great feeling of motion. Congratulations.
