I liked the good view of the breeding plumage on this male Great Egret at the Dallas rookery. Processed using Photoshop CS3, NeatImage and LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Like the raised feathers -- with the right amount of vegetation to show the habitat -- the green and orange are eye catchers -- nicely done

Nice look at this beauty. Great detail and display.
From here, the blues look a little over-saturated (?)

I agree. The plumes and lores are showing nicely in this one. Good work.
