Nice. I really like the sky gradation in these.

My wife said the same thing. I may separate the background and play with the saturation/lightness a bit. I almost didn't take the shots because I was shooting almost directly into the rising sun. In the raw file the egrets are on the dark side, and lightening it brought out some noise, but I like the shots.

I love 'em all! :D To me, Snowy's are full of surprises, and a lot of personality.
I 'specially like the second one, (although the first one's sharper) it has more movement, and somehow that brings it more alive to me.
With any of these shots, I'd be happy as a clam! :D (Which he'd probably steal from me and eat)

VERY NICE!

Thanx for the comments, everybody. Yeah, there's a little motion blur on the legs in #2... those suckers move fast. In this case, 1/500 seconds wasn't high enough to freeze it.
