Egret Pair
Another from my bird outing in S.C. last month. I seem to like this for at least the cool curves these birds do with their neck.
This is full frame no crop.

Hi Brad another really cool shot. It shows really well with the pair so close together. You definatly found a hot spot for the egrets.

What great shapes! :toast: Good exposure on the birds, and I like how the birds are framed by the green with the nesting(?) twigs below them. Well captured. And one you should be proud of.

Man, another wonderful capture Brad! You certainly had a productive trip "photographically speaking" back east. Really nice shot in all respects! Keep 'em coming! :wavey:

Excellent shot Brad. The curves and white plumage of the Egrets contrasted by the placement on a green background accentuates their form. Add to that the anchoring provided by the twig nest and you have given us a very balanced and intriguing photograph.
Great job!

Beautiful shot Brad. The inclusion of the nesting area adds a lot to the composition.

I'll echo everyone else as the high praise is well earned.

The centered composition works well for this subject.
