p.1 #1 · A few egrets plus Tern's in LOVE

I have taken these images over the past few days. I am particularly happy with my egret in flight because they have been a challenge for me.

I also very happy with my pair of Tern's. The one tern kept teasing the other tern with the fish by bringing it and taking it away again. It was fun to watch....kinda romantic

All images were taken two block from my house...I feel lucky these days

Thanks again to my biggest helper FW for helping me with PP ..much appreciated!!

So you have an attraction to haning out at the boat docks, watch romantic birds and take pictures of white fuzzy things, your my kinda gal

Congrats on that real nice egret passover, that looks great Noelle. That first shot is very artistic and a nice capture of the behavior. The yellow ring on the bouy adds some nice vibrance. REally nice exposure on Mr Fuzzy and a nice BG too. My fav is #3, I love the pastels in this and think it a a fabulous exposure!

You sure took it all in, kinda sets the mood of this outing for you, nice

Thank you KarlA...... I always love your comments...really

Yup, I have been hanging at the docks lately with my favorite subjects and I just love talking to the fuzzy birds

I have to thank FW for the PP on the Tern's it was a dreary morning when I took the image and it really needed some help. I love what he did to it because I loved watching them together. I am glad I can keep this memory 4 ever now.

Noelle, the Great Egret in flight is definitely my favorite. Nicely done

The tern image is quite nice as well. Especially how you have done the post-processing of the image.

Great practice area you have there. Thanks for sharing.

OK Noelle.. now that you have your post all straightened out

I like the egret in flight the best of them all.. I'm a in flight kinda guy anyway so that gets the number one spot..

The first images is so romantic yet a tease in a sense... poor little guy couldn't even get a fishy.

#2 looks like he was put on the fluff cycle in the dryer then set out...

#3 is a great profile shot, but you needed a little tongue on that one and it would have been great

Maybe next time yell at him to stick his tongue out for you...

I had too many distractions when I was posting at first so I posted the same image three times

( You knew that )

Thanks for the comments.......they always make me

Thanks again...... I have been working really hard on exposure. I still struggle a bit when the bird goes into flight and the light changes. I have been getting close enough to bump it up without or down without losing details

Very nice set Noelle, your whites are coming out wonderfully these days. No.5 EIF is terrific, might be nice to see a little more wood post on no.2 fuzzy feathers.
