Are these the same birds you caught being fed? Great antics, you are a patient man with a camera! The pastel blue of the sky is a nice change, too, instead of the intense colors we see in so many other photos. High marks on this one and saved to my HD!

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.

The soft blue sky as background, with the lovely white of the egrets topped off with the carpeted green floor!! I offer you a big 10 and into my favs! Sincerely, Marilyn

Love the soft colors and contrasts in this beautiful capture Robert. It makes for a lovely wallpaper and it is saved in my bird slideshow. Thank you.

What a great capture. Nice stop-action, and so clear. The lighting, color, and composition are perfect! You know the math...

this shot looks so gentle and delicate.. those egrets really look magnificent on this image with a beautiful soft sky.. and the contrast between the leaves and their snowy feather increases their purity and beauty.

great shot :) high marks from myst ;)

Now thats a winner Robert. Great action photography. I love the description you put there. I really enjoy the snowy egrets. They are great fun to photograph and you have shown their better side here. Good color, quality & clarity. Top marks & into fav;s on h/d. Thanks :))

Good morning
Your patience was well rewarded. Full screen, the first thing I noticed was that the structure of the wing on the left bird is clear, and the feathers are almost awash with the light. they are nicely positioned in the frame. Top marks.

The sky and the light were very kind to you that day. They really show off the greens and the snowy white and make the wings seem almost translucent. You got a really great shot with your patience and timing

Nice capture, Robert! These birds can be so skittish, it's great that you were able to capture them both. The lighting is definitely great in this one, wonderfully natural. Well taken!

These are Cattle Egrets, aren't they? Snowies have a black bill and black legs...

Thanks Kilie, Rebecca and gregwrld.
The Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) does indeed have a black bill and legs. However these are the Little Egret (Ardea Garzetta), they are more slender with a longer neck. I was mistaken in my answer to bb :-)

this picture took my breath away. The whiteness and pureness of the birds against the blue sky, the perfect position of the birds.... I saved it for my slide show on my desktop.

Robert, I love viewing your gallery, so many choices! These beauties caught my eye. We have egrets in Louisiana too. I always enjoy seeing them. These two egrets are stunning. Excellent clarity and composition..but you know that! They are splendid caught in motion. I like their positions in the tree - seeing those long legs and gorgeous wings is a treat. It's a picture postcard! The green of the tree leaves bring all the beauty together. Now if I could only capture an image such as yours :^>
