Welcome to the forum, I certainly hope to be seeing more of your very fine photos.

Hard to offer any critique of these imageswithout sounding petty or getting into some 'lightweight" impressions. But, I shall try;) .... my impression is that the GBH might have been oversharpened a wee bit, but I am not quite sure...

Also, I have seldom seen such pristine white plumage :rolleyes: ....it is often that even the sunlight casts a yellowish tint on them snow white birds.

These are all gorgeous shots. If I had to chose a favourite it would be the last one ( Night Herom I think) with the great light and detail across the entire bird including under the wing. Great composition on the Egret and again the light and detail are bang on. They are all beautiful. Welcome to the forum!

Very nice shots... Tell us about them, Lens, Camera, Settings...

I am guessing you used a 400?

The fourth one looks less like a Great Blue Heron and more like a B-52 bomber coming in low.

This is an outstanding series. The color and sharpness are great, and you have some wonderful captures. Welcome to the forum.
