Re: PESO -- Egret Fishing II
Yes, I like the contrast between the bird and the water. Amazing how a bird that large manages to cling onto that old stump.

Re: PESO -- Egret Fishing
Difficult exposure! Spot metering on the Egret might have given you more feather detail. To the extent the file size permits it, I'd crop to substantially isolate the Egret and perch.

Re: PESO -- Egret Fishing
I think loping off a good portion of the left side, keeping the Egret just right of center, would greatly benefit the image. Also, afraid I'd have to despeckle the water some.

Re: PESO -- Egret Fishing
Peter, hope you don't mind my fiddling with your Egret image. I like the subject a lot and changed the crop to a composition I like better. I'm only saying that I do and, of course, am not asking you to agree. Just offered as a suggestion. I, also, cleaned up the pond water a bit. I'll remove it from my files this evening.
