I love that egret, Joe. Good exposure on the whites and nice reflection. It all looks very liquid ... or fluid ...? Anway, looks great to me.

Well of the birds of course cannot be anything but #1.
Of the roses it is #2.

I agree with Bobo, same ones for me, Joe. The last bird, the Grebe.....has a bit of a green cast.

Hello Greg, thank you for viewing and commenting. I like the way that egret developed also, nice light and calm water. Here is the same bird with a little different light and angle.

Thanks Bobo, you picked the ones I like best also.

Thanks Paul, I will look into the green cast. I need more experience in seeing that.

I love your egret shots Joe. Which of your equipment do you generally use for your bird shots?

Hello Charles, thank you for commenting and viewing. Regarding my equipment... I use a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon 55-300 mm AF-S VRII lens, both purchased as refurbished by Nikon. Post Processing is done mainly in Adobe Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 10 for what can be done better there.

Very nice, especially the reflections in the bird photos.
