Great Egret and friends...

Hi, fellows. Just processed these shots of a great egret and some "friends" that were passing by. C&C welcome. Thanks for viewing.

beautiful bird photos as always. I especially adore #1... that fish makes the photo special (#4, too)..

Is there is something different...soft... about the feathers of the egret in the 2nd photo (beautiful composition) or maybe it is just me?

Otavio,
Very nice photos.
The #1 is supreme. It seems a picture painted by a talented artist.
Thanks for sharing.
Antonio.

#1 is one beautiful shot. #3 is also excellent. The fish and the band of grass add good interest to both shots.

Hello, Christina. Thanks for viewing and commenting. I had to apply a heavy noise reduction on #3, I think that is way it looks a bit soft. Kindest regards!

Hi Antônio.

Thanks, but surely my job was a lot easier (and, thus, have A LOT LESS merit) than painting such a screen!

I'm glad you liked it though. Cheers...

Thanks, Bobo. I appreciate your feedback. I was not sure if the band of grass would work (actually I almost started cloning it out!). Regards,

Hello Otavio. Thank you for sharing. Good for me to know for future.

PS I love your bird photos!

Hello Otavio. Thank you for sharing. Good for me to know for future.

This egret was part under a shadow, part under the sunlight, what makes this shot/PP, in my opinion, and considering my limited level of PP, very dificult. If I had asked her to move a bit to the sunlight (or back into the shadow), maybe the shot would be better!

PS I love your bird photos!

Very happy to know. Thanks!

Really like these Otavio! 1 is over the top for me. A show winner. Very well done.
