Caught this Great Egret pair doing a little nest building. I liked the way they were both holding onto the stick. Processed using Photoshop CS3, NeatImage and LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

The shared stick is a fine touch, Jerry. Their pose against the clean blue sky works well also.

Nice action between the two. The breeding plumage and colors are very evident. I think cranking back the blue enough to get it out of the shadows would be helpful.

Another fine Egret shot Jerry. Great interaction between the two. You did a very nice job with the exposure. The whites look great with plenty of detail. Great job.

Great view of both heads and eyes, and nice behavior.
Tack-sharp, and interesting branches.
Fine image!

Excellent capture Jerry. Well done. Love the title too. That shared stick is just wonderful. In the larger image you can even see the tongue of the lower bird. :toast:
