Very rich in colour and great dof. Some unfortunate shadowing on the bird gives it a blue look. The centering of the subject is tolerable but a tight crop may be in order.
Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O

hi
goooshhhh....what have u done?
may I ask why did u cut his legs? if u wanted just his body u should have gone a bit closer and just get his head and a bit of body. also u have a bit too much enviroment to the sides.
regards
Christian

Well it's either a Great Egret or a White Heron. They have slightly different plumage, but I could not tell you the difference.
As to critiquing the image, I think it would have been better to shoot it vertically and not crop the bird's legs off. I like the rich color saturation, but the contrast is a bit harsh due to the filtered sunlight.
I shot one in Orlando, too! Yours looks younger, perhaps a juvenile because of the fluffiness to some of its feathers.

I know what you mean! There are a couple of Great Blue Herons that visit the local parks, but I have not been able to get any decent shots of them in flight.
Hopefully Teddy can post a few more soon - Florida is great for birding.

I guess I'm going to have to get one for you guys. They frequent the area where I live and also on the river at work. Stay tuned!

Hi Teddy. Yes, that was taken at WDW. The boulders on which the bird apppears to be standing are actually the peaks of a food cart's awning.
Is the new pic the original of the first pic? You could saturate the new one to match the velvia-like colors of the first. I agree with you that it is a bit dull in comparison, though probably pretty accruate. And I do like the full-body portrait better than the crop.

It is a different pic. Same place and time. I am trying to remember exactly what I did with the first to get the goog color that I did.
Disney has a lot of wild life land around it, so any place on disney property you have a chance of seeing something.

Hey Teddy,
I think the last one is a bit too blue.. in terms of colour I still like your original photo the best.
