Building a Home

Gallery: AvianPosted May 7, 201368 views5 comments
Have not been able to go out much lately, but last Saturday I went to a site I have not been to in two years. They had trimmed back the trees but there was one they had not and it was full of Great and Snowy Egrets with a family of Great Blue Herons. This couple got the penthouse local and were remodeling.

Canon 5D MIII with 500mm
Tripod
ISO 320
f / 6.3 at 1/2500

Comments and suggestions are appreciated

Excellent composition. Must be a California sky! Still, I think you could safely bring up the brightness a bit and tone down the blue.

Harry, nice action and good comp. I agree. This is a bit dark. I would bring up the brightness.

Very nice image Harry. Looks like the female is directing the male on his home building skills. I agree with the others that it seems a bit dark.

Well composed frame & I like the behavioral 'teamwork' here so to speak.
Great details, just bring it up a bit & you're home free Harry :toast:
