Hi Jim. You did a nice job adding canvas. I find these frames to be a compositional challenge; a tall bird leaning forward in the frame. You handled it as well as can be expected. Sharpness looks good, as do your whites.

This is a pleasing image, Jim. If it were mine, I would crop just a tad from the left to alleviate what looks like a dark leaf.

Very nice looking image. I think the grasses do a lot to balance the image and the colors are very nice.

Sharp with good exposure and a nice image design. Easy to lose the dark leaf if you'd like. The tall grass bugs me a bit but only where it closely parallels the lower back. How did you do in early DEC?

Thanks Doug, Marina, John and Arthur for the comments and suggestions. Arthur I wanted to get the Reddish Egret, Tricoloured Egret, American Oystercatcher, Ruddy Turnstone and Spoonbill. The only one I missed was the Spoonbill but John Rowell was there the same week and got them. An unexpected image was a King Rail who appeared out of the grasses and walked within five feet of me. I enjoyed myself at Fort Desoto and look forward to returning.

Wow: King Rail. At the north end? Though I have gotten head shots spoonbills are not common there.

At the north end just east of the parking lot where there is a two rut path leading to the water. It was just after the grass where that two rut path starts. I haven't checked that card yet but am hoping to get a good image. Light was pretty low.

The blueish BG and the nicely exposed whites really make this shot for me. I like the habitat too. Nice work Jim

I like the Egret in his habitat. Sharpness and exposure work well. Nice Image.
