Wonderful all around image. The light is perfect for this scene. I like the green BG with all the little flowers sprinkled in.

I like the surroundings you caught this egret in. different than many egret images. Very nice colors and details, thanks for sharing.

What a great pose Sandy - looks like it's about to hit the town with that new hairdo

The setting makes this work very well for me Sandy. Very different for a snowy.

Not sure I have ever seen a Snowy surrounded by little purple flowers. Love it! Very different image form all the other Snowy shots I have seen.

The background really sets off the bird well, and the little flowers add just the right touch

Just a very beautiful Snowy image Sandy!! Great detail and the flowers are awesome in contrast to the whites. Just wish that little piece of brush wasn't blocking the bird's legs.

Another Awesome Photo Sandy

A very pleasing composition. I really like the flared head feathers, but the colorful habitat puts this one over the top for me.
