    Great Egret
    Southern, California

    Taken a couple weeks ago these are relatively easy flight targets and make for a great
    subject to shoot especially for people who are looking to improve on taking pictures of birds
    in flight.;)

    Very well done. Great angle of flight, wing position, lighting, and background. I just finished reading Artie's lengthy thread on posting and decided to constructively critique the first image I viewed. Too bad it's good enough I can't think of anything I'd change. Nice work.

    Super image - Well exposed and lovely flight angle. I would maybe adjust the brightness a tad down. Run a levels adjustment and adjust mid-tone slider a bit. Well done!

    Well howdy stranger! Congrats on your 1,000th post! Too bad I missed you in California, but you never call or write. :) Nice eye contact, exposure, and sharpness. I like the low shooting angle too.

    Just about perfect. I love the blue water, and the green lores.
