Talking Reddish Egret 2: For Alfred

Here it is Al - the Egret is in the left hand side, and the waves don't create such a distraction.... But then, he's also not staring right at me, either. BUT, I like the pattern in the foam on this one, and the colors.

Nikon D80

1/500th @ f/7.1

Thanks Amy Very fine image Big Red looking good. Love the feel of this one

Look is just fine, might position the bird on the other side of the frame? For some reason all of these can be different just seconds apart which is the reason for making a few exposures. Big Congrats on this one !!!

Hi Amy; the BG color is gorgeous and I like the water/surf in this one; good eye contact. What's not to like?

Thanks for the kind words, Al. Don't worry - there are more with him all over the place. I guess I could post a triptych, huh? I also have some horizontals where he is on the right. This one is cropped only slightly to get rid of the horizon line at the very top, and a little off the right for balance. Otherwise, this is full-frame.

I saw in another thread where someone posted a series of 3 photos. If that's ok, I could do that.

Excellent details Amy. Love your background and as Richard also pointed out, the waves are great.
