Hi Gail, love the dark colors against the egret, so dramatic to match the touch down. Perfect parallel to sensor and your exposure was perfect, well done, i really like the blues in the water! pretty awesome.

Hi Gail,
Beautiful landing moment with full wings and tail feathers in braking positions. Liking the black water as well, setting off the nicely handled whites of the Snowy. I too like and agree with Ann on the subtle blues in the water.

Great bird anywhere in Canada! Perfect exposure of those whites against the blacks. I only wish for more separation of the legs, but you gotta love that wing stretch!

Congrats Gail!
The Snowys are everywhere here during the summer but I can relate to the excitement of something different. Still remember my first encounter with one, it was awesome!
Anyhow, perfect flight landing pose and the well-exposed side on the dark bkg (as mentioned) makes this. But the splash of water at the feet puts it over the top. Composition is fantastic too.
TFS!

Love a white bird against a dark background. This one is excellent in that regard. Nice pose. The title fits the image very well. Nice detail on the bird.

Gail:
Agree with all the positives. Excellent timing. Like the dramatic background, in a perfect world, just a bit more separation between the bill and background would be a nice touch.
Cheers
