Great series. Image quality, color composition everything is spot on. My only complaint would be the cormorant - I can see some glow around the bird (something I am not used to seeing from your work Socrate ). My favorite would probably be the portrait of the cattle egret.
I keep thinking about getting a 300/2.8 for use instead of my 400 f/5.6 but I don't think I could ever sell the 400 f/5.6 So many lenses, so little money.
HOLY MOLY Shasoc these are ummmmm like ......... ahhhhh........... Unbelievable !!!
WOw you've outdone yourself. Every capture is amazingly sharp / detailed / colorful / splendid !!! Man you should have split these into several posts
Super Duper job my friend. I've always been a Shasoc fan, but these take it up a few notches.
Amazing work my friend
Anthony is Chillin in Iowa for the next few weeks Yea BABY !!

He's baaaackkk!! And with a massive vengeance!! Socrate, you did out do yourself. These are ALL splendid, ah my freind once again up with the bar. Where do I start? Flawless PP, gorgeous whites, comps, grace, beauty and just plain pizazz. 2 wonderful portrait, 3 great work with the color, 4 and 5, I'm a sucker for the breeding plumage, cormie looks like a bomber(may be if you are not lucky) 7, you nailed that one, 9 a piece of art at the least.
Superbirdtastic.

Some stunning shots Socrate! Each one is special in it's own right, but if I absolutely had to pick a favorite, it would be 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9, with 1, 4, 6 and 10 coming in a very close second! Excellent work Sir!

Splendid work on these shots Socrate. A few standouts to me are #2, #5, #8, #9. The reflecting Tricolor is a real knockout That has to be the softest most flattering light on the egret portrait, love it man!
Karl
Thanks Karl. I always appreciate your thoughtfull comments.

sweet Socrate, love the tri-color with reflection and the cattle egret portrait.
Can't you just stay up all night for a few days and catch up on pp?
Hi Dave. Thanks for your comments. I had so many opportunities to shoot during that trip that I will never catch up. I'm just sorting a few that I like best, hoping that some time later on I will have more time.
