Lovely shot.
Thanks Su. The egret’s feathers are a little blurry because I had to crop down from a 200mm shot, but I was so pleased that I had finally captured a time when the fellow had his wings outspread. 😀
I didn’t really notice the blur 😀
A close friend said the same thing! My tendency to measure myself against professionals, which of course is silly. Thanks, Su, as always.
I understand that. We are our harshest critics — which has the virtue I’d driving us to improve. Do remember to step back sometimes and allow yourself a pat on the back though. 😀
Thanks! My husband was always my biggest cheerleader. I should try to hear his voice in my head. He would have been so proud of the photography work I am doing. I do think of that frequently. Now I need to try and remind myself of what he would say when I publish a photo. 🙂
