#2, I like the coloration & reflection so much, I'll forgive the blown highlights. :rofl

#3, Wonderful you captured him with the little fish. :ivar

Rich - i think your first shot is a red-tail hawk (immature?) and not a harrier - but very nice with great detail nonetheless...

Three very nice images. I love the light in the great egret images and your hawk image is very sharp with a beautiful blue sky. As traunerk pointed out, it's not a harrier though. I agree that it is probably an immature red tailed hawk.

Nice set :thumb I agree the lighting in the second shot is beautiful.

Love them all :lust

Here is a thought: try turning down the blue saturation (sky) in the BIF shots. For me, it is a bit over powering, and by toning it down you can really get the bird to pop (jmho).

These are all great images, tack sharp, with great lighting effects. :clap

Exposing for egrets is tough, Could probably do a bit better of I spent some time with the image. Thanks for the comments, very much appreciated.

EEK, I added that sky. The bif was down below in the frame so I did a clipping path around him and popped him over the color I chose. I'll take your advice and give it a try. Thanks a bunch for the nice words.

Cheers
