From little Estero Lagoon last year Light was getting sweet Reflections from condos giving their gorgeous light Tried some experimenting with blurs in this light Normally I go for the sure thing and crank the shutter speed

I love it! Egrets in particular lend themselves beautifully to this impressionistic treatment.

You know how much I liked thisi one ;)

I like this a lot. The "correct" shutter speed would have created a nice image but it would really be like hundreds of others. This is unique and excellent. I don't see that I would want to change anything.

beautiful alfred. next time I run into you and fabs you'll have to give me a tutorial on how to do this ...

This really makes me think of something I'd see in a dream. What an ethereal quality! Looks like something out of a child's storybook - and I mean that in a good way!

Hi Alfred,
This image does have a dream-like and golden quality. I like the blurred-diagonal effect of the water.

For me, it has a "powerful landing look" with its big upper left wing in a braking action. That's a guy thing maybe? You caught it all just right in my opinion. Birds As Art.
