Great Egret in OOF foliage

[Fabs Forns]

Every time I get a chance to work through a veil of vegetation, I jump at it. I'm sure it's personal taste, but I find it attractive.

This is very nice, I like the applied effect, the diffused look and feel. You were looking through a maze of grass and the bird was a little fuzzy at first sight...you captured the moment and told the story...no more, no less...I love it...some times the things that we see in every day life is not as clear as we thing that they should be...this is perfect...it's moody...it's artistic...I like it ...congrats...you have the artistic eye maestra...:):D:cool:

Fabs, I love the colors and the blurred vegetation-I also really like the frame-it's great. I don't know if you have to sharpen the bird-maybe just the eye-if anything. I really like it and I like the mood. Well done!

Very cool, Fabs! I would have liked the egret with more sharpness but that's certainly not a deal breaker here because everything else has that misty look to it. I love how you blurred the vegetation...I'm definitely going to have to remember that trick!
