My good friend Phil (gonedigital) sent me some of his egret pictures to play around with in the software programs I'm using these days. I decided to use this one for the B&W challenge. I will post the color version a little later on.

Thank you for commenting, and as always I like to know what your thoughts are.

I also want to thank Phil for for letting me use some of his pictures.

Wonderful to see them taking part in a mini convention. I'm curious where they are talking or thinking about, so a penny for their thoughts Sandi, lol.

Good entry for the challenge!

Regards, Cornelius.

The feathers look so soft, like your wolf in "Black Pine Sanctuary'. It's a wonderful effect and your composition and presentation are perfect for the challenge.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Good one for the B/w Challenge Sandi. I think the focus was on the middle one because the other two are blurred.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Beautiful B&W white and I love the soft look that you applied to this wounderful scene and shade in the birds feather is superb.Plus very nice composition along with lovely textures too.

What I can't figure out is that the full screen (Enlarged) version is smaller than the presentation page image, and nobody else is experiencing this. I'd just like to know why.

It must be a small pond if they're stacked in there on top of one another. A good b/w presentation of the photo, Sandi.
