Nice exposure, very comfortable white.

I just shot some photos of the great egrets. I know how difficult it is to get a balanced exposure between the almost pure white birds and background.

That late afternoon glow imparted a beautiful feel to this image, Mike.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Outstanding flight shot of the Caracara, Paul! It's such a sharp, clear image!

These are two excellent flight shots of the stork, RAL! Both are very sharp images. I especially like the second shot with the birds wings outstretched.

What a spectacular shot, Sid! I love the hawks pose, plus the image is so sharp and lifelike.

Thank you Paul, much appreciated.

Thank you very much, RAL. I've alway found that both all white and all black subjects are difficult to balance against the backgrounds. Sometimes pure luck saves us and sometimes not.:-)

Thank you sogs. That late afternoon sun can provide some very pleasant lighting results.

Thank you so much, Steve. It's very pleasing to capture that late afternoon glow.

Thanks so much LD, appreciate it. They often just look dark in poor light, so I was pleased to get some color to show.
