Post your best bird shots!

[Joel Eade]

That is really a great shot Joel, I love the post----It really does give it the oil painting feel. Beautiful work.

Thanks Bob....I came to SC to go fishing but the fish are not cooperating as much as the birds....I have had some nice opportunities on Great Egrets and Great Blue Herons, this is a different lake from where we were this spring for the Osprey.

Joel, that PP on the egret is very interesting, very creative. love it!. also nice wing position on the GBH in flight.


Dr. that was a great catch, Joel cropped it to the landscaping version which looks great, however I am kind of like the portrait version more because of the vertical branch and I like to see more orange color in the BG. so I edited your picture like this:

Joel, very good exposure on the white, also like the pose of the egret!

I saw a shot somewhat similar on Juza's portfolio and he selectively darkened imagearound the Egret.


Here is the picture of what I am talking about,
