I felt like posting something from our last workshop Jerry and I did in Charleston, SC and couldn't decide where I wanted this one, ESS or Avian. I decided on here instead.

I love it! Egrets and Herons are my favorite birds.

This is my kind of wildlife photo -- where you get a good sense of the surrounding environment. . .

Richard, this is elegant. I agree with Matthew that I like seeing some of the surroundings. Great shot!

I love it too. I like these environmental portraits better than just the standard 600mm blurry background type of shots.

I whole heartedly agree-the spring colors of the background go with the nesting season and add another element. The green strip above the beak is so vibrant!

Thanks to those who responded. Lets see more spring images from this group!

"Lets see more spring images from this group!" Yes sir! I'm still processing ones I took on Sunday-it was beautiful at Wilson Creek.
