This is the next frame of my last post of the Night Heron -(the one you called pancake). Hope this is better!

The wing position is much better here ... and I love the way that eye just pops! Mine own eyes are drawn straight to it.

[Jeni Williams]

Excellent Denise - the eye attracts one immediately and the feather detail is sharp!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Very nice Denise, like the rim highlights and the BG. Nice underwing detail too. Was this much of a crop?, can't imagine having this much DOF at 5.6.

Jackie, I just took off some on sides for proportion-the 5D has more megapixels than the 40D and you get a better image when cropped,at least that is how I feel.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

VG! looks pretty sharp throughout Denise. You were pretty close considering no crop factor.

Jackie, In Florida you can get pretty close-This was taken at Anhinga Trail the night I met Oscar and Alberto and some of the birds were flying right next to us! It was fun and good practice.

Lady Denise...simply superb...no more, no less...proud of you...:):cool:

[Lance Peters]

Denise - perfect - well done - love that eye - great details throughout - super!!

[Harold Davis]

awesome awesome!! way to go denise! i like this a lot. nice detail and good pose!

[Dave Woeller]

Denise, all I can say is WOW!. The backround is beautiful and as stated above, the rim light and that inceredible eye make this a real winner. Excellent image.

Thanks Guys!!

[Oscar Zangroniz]

hey D, better late than never.
This one really rocks. excellent details and very sharp. Awesome eye too.

[Alberto Oria]

Wow Denise , that is my technical oppinion:D

[denise ippolito]

Alberto,. We had a good shoot that night-I still have loads of images to sort through!

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Denise ... this is not a pancake :) Wings need to be straight out and sideways !!! I like it a lot and good focusing with the 5D !!!
