Great Egret - taken at Venice, FL rookery. Used Canon 100-400 IS lens at 150 mm, f/11, 1/800 sec., ISO 400, center-weighted average metering mode. Water was originally very dull, so added a bit of bluish hue to make the image more colorful.

Thank you so much Kristen, Jenny, Jeff, Kathleen, Christian, Charlene, K.S., Lori, Anita, and Deborah. I truly appreciate your compliments on my great egret photo. There certainly was some luck involved, as this magnificent bird just came and landed about 20 feet from where I had my camera set up. I got a number of shots, but this shot, as he was getting ready for take-off, was my favorite. #1435790Cathy Gregor June 06, 2005

What a rare and wonderful image of artistry. The decision to add blue in the background give the image a day dream like quality. You captured this spot on. Great photo #4516694Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
