long range capture of Egret

[loose cannon]

About 100m away but I held focus as it came into land. These are a beautiful bird to capture and if you get lucky they can provide an artful image and I think the b&w conversion really suits here. Very happy with this. Don't always have to get close folks, this is a huge crop.

I really like how this one came out. Kinda like a watercolor painting.

Very artistic and displayable
. I notice some ghosting it does look better when removed. Should have done the legs as well,

Yeah, the ghosting didn't bother me too much Hans. I printed this one and it came out a treat

[Joeyjoe]

Very nice, the B&W worked very well for this shot, the flight feathers look like Japanese-style ink brushstrokes

Good observation Joe

Nice work Mick. I recall mentioning on many occasions that I do love a good B&W.

Thanks Isac
