Ooooooh, I like the touch of Tabasco you gave this image, EJ. Just the right amount too. Love the darker textured colors in contrast with the blue sky / clouds. I spot 3 birds ... I'm 100% positive they are Great Egrets ... I call them Snowy Egrets since I'm from the North. Wonderful capture & post-editing EJ ... Happy Easter to you & yours.

Excellent work here EJ. The lower shadow play is perfection.

Wonderful image EJ. The HDR gives it a 3D effect. You are right about fading light. I need to look at this in daylight - LOL. I count 3 birds - what birds? nest building Boeings! what else?

Wonderful and very moody capture E.J. Great to see more of the environment the birds are living in. Have counted 16 birds (in 4 times, lol).

Regards, Cornelius.

It looks like a "Brave New World." As if that WWIII finally happened and life is just getting itself organized again. This is really good work EJ.

We call that stuff Louisiana Hot Sauce over here. I love the warm glow, looks like late afternoon. I see what looks like two Snowy Egrets and a Great Egret in the sauce. I love it! Edit.... I think one in the tree is a Great Egret instead.

I like dark photos very much and this is so great that I faved it. I hope the tobasco isn't too hot for the egrets. Perfect and you don't answer the how many birds or what kind so my lips are sealed. lol What a dandy Frogz.
