We were on our boat one day, and the sky was really pretty. It wasn't a sunset or anything. It was kind of strange, but it looked cool. I tried taking pictures of it but it just didn't look right... then I saw this flock of egrets fly by and I took the picture as quick as I could. I think it turned out good. I just wish I took the picture landscape style so it could have been used as a background, because otherwise it's just a nice photograph.

What a beautiful cloud shot. I agree that it would be better presented in a horizontal format. If I were shooting it, I would probably have the herons flying into the frame instead of out of it, because that powerful sky pulls my eyes away from these beautifully silhouetted creatures. Believe me, I understand the mental tug-o-war that your faced under the time constraints. That picture sort of got away, but you'll be more ready next time. Ben there, done that, hid the t-shirt.

If I remember correctly, I think the bottom of that cloud was pretty ugly and the top of it was pretty, which was why I took it at that angle. Still a good shot, but I see what you're saying, it definitely may have been better horizontal if the bottom clouds weren't so ugly. And hey, can't control the birds, but it would have been better if they were flying towards it. So many little things that make perfection...

Thanks for the kind words, though. I appreciate it.
