About Snowy Egret with a couple of wing tips in the water. This is a shot I always felt needed more space in front so I re-cropped...

I just love these birds, they're so much like the Herons, graceful and elegant, wonderful close up view Marcus, with perfect exposure, and a beautiful composition. I like that he's touching the water but not disturbing it, so that the reflection is perfect. Excellent as always! Linda

Your english is perfect Pawel, I thought you were commenting on the strange color background that I cant even figure out myself :), and was trying to explain it. I am just happy you commented as I always appreciate it..
Take care

Pawel Kwasnicki Pawel Kwasnicki   {K:9651} 11/7/2005
Hi again, looks like my English was not good enough to say what I meant- I?ll try another way: I like here that the background?s color effects the wing?s edges; not that you painted it or sth like that; hope now it?s clear; all the best, Pawel

Marcus Armani Marcus Armani   {K:36599} 11/7/2005
Thanks Pawel, Thats actually the original background, I only did shadow and highlights and a slight sharpen, added some space in front of the bird. but no painting of the bird, I never knew what to attribute the strange water color to? but The original is even darker..
Marcus.

Fantastic shot, Marcus! He seems to be suspended in the air, except for the connection at the wingtips.

Another great shot Marcus!

There is always something just a little out of the ordinary with your shots. In this case, the touching of the wing tips in the water is so subtle that a lot of us might have missed it if we didn't read the about.
Something tells me there is an award for this one somewhere out there!

Very beautiful capture Marcus. The feathers touching the water from the nicely detailed spread wing together with the colors of golden yellow, white and blue add so much to the image. Very nice!!
