    Default Snowy Egret 2

    I spent most of the day and night in the Dallas airport and am now washing and drying the contents of my luggage that was left in standing water for hours. I think I'm going to be a bit late for my meeting this morning.

    I used the time to sort and process some of the photos on my laptop. Here's another pose from the time I spent with this snow egret. I have one with the little blue heron flying at him but it's only the back of the blue. I used the suggestions from the previous posting in processing this image.

    Comments and suggestions welcomed and appreciated.

    I absolutely LOVE this image. The shadows on the top wing are, to me, (and I am no expert) the only thing that detracts from this image in any way, otherwise, this has the feel of a very good painting to me.

    Very nice and pose, Gayle. You could try and get rid of the shadows and the shine on the legs :)

    I also love this image, particularly the olive tone. I like the small highlight on the leg as it shows the texture of the scales that birds' leg possess, and their affinities to reptiles. I'm no judge, but I think this image would win competitions.

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

    Fabs, I'll eliminate the shadow and shine as soon as I get back home.

    sorry you got everything all wet.....

    This snowy image has a very artsy appeal, like something a great master would have painted. I can just see it 'big" and a wood frame.

    only IMO, the olive cast is still a bit strong.....but has a lot of appeal
