    Hi Everyone,
    This very cooperative snowy egret posed for me during my last visit to Florida in March. I think that the side-lighting makes the picture more dramatic, although I am probably under arrest...:cool:

    As always many thanks to you all - I really value the time and trouble that you all take with the suggestions and comments.

    Lady Nicki,
    This is excellent, I love the selective crop and composition. I like this pose...:) The whites are in check, and the baby blue background makes it pop...good show...:cool:
