Soft Landing

[David Chauvin]

Great Egret landing before sunrise. Of thirty or so attempts, this came the closest to what I was after. I wish the head angle was better, but I really like the wing blur. What do you guys think?

Cool! I like the softness and pastel colours here.

Hi David,

I'm a big fan of blur but this one is not working for me. The head angle is not ideal and the wings clipped really takes away from your image. I also find the strong green a distraction. With that said you did well keeping the head in focus!

Keep them coming!

I like it it is out of the box, soft feeling, nice job.

I like the image but I really wish the image frame was 30% larger or more to provide the bird with some space. With more room the image would be much more pleasing.

Image looks a little blue also.
