STUNNING! This is poster-perfect. The bright, bold orange of the sunset just grabs a hold of me and won't let go. Even minus the amazing silhouette of the bird it would be a 6 star photo. Well done!

Very bold and dramatic photograph of a beach sunset. The egret silhouetted was a nice touch and adds to the scene. This photograph has a wonderful initial impact and is a joy to view.

Well dude, I know I'm using an Iphone SE and you a 7, and they both have a similar camera, but you have the Midas touch somewhere along the line, this being a (e)great (sorry for the pun there, I had to throw it in when I spotted it! lol) example of sheer quality artistic photography, the sharp clarity silhouetting the Egret standing proud and tall with the gorgeous range of reds and oranges standing vividly in the sunset sky, and reflecting beautifully off the sand and sea, which seem to merge seamlessly. Great long DOF and camera/post production techniques create excellent patterns and a sense of scale and perspective, great work my friend - I'd give you a 6 but it's clear from your awards you know it and somebody who needs an ego boost I like to deservedly give will benefit from the few I have left, if you get me! Fabulous and flawless composition, well done :)

    Thanks for the Great review and compliments. I Totally agree about the rating. People have criticized me for saving my six's for those that I think need encouragement. Catching people doing something right (or almost right) is More important than using them for those who get them all the time. So Good Show for that. I get lucky sometimes with scenes and even I am amazed at what somehow comes out in post processing. Anyway thanks so much for the Great review my friend ~ Steve P.S. When I try an (e)great joke like that (a Good one BTW) people tell me to keep my day job! Hmmm maybe they have a point even though I am newly retired ; )

Comment from ArtistCarl


Nice, just nice. Very dramatic photograph making clear that all the attention is on the bird setting within a hot colored background. Reasons for my five star vote.

Steve,
A beautiful & dramatic picture of the Egret standing on a rock in silhouette against the deep orange sunset over the sea with the tide going out, the amazing colours in the sky reflected onto the sea & wet sands in the foreground. The dark clouds adding interesting shapes to the sky while framing the setting sun seen through the lighter clouds it has coloured orange. Artistic composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

    Wow. Thank you so very much Susan for your very encouraging review. Your artistic commentary is always so well done. You point out things that I don't see in the scenes. Funny how that works. I am honored with your very high rating and always appreciate your thoughts ~ Steve
Comment from Linda Wetzel


I love the dramatic sky in this composition. The silhouettes of the rocks add a ruggedness to the softness of the bird silhouette. I like the touch of leaves in the to right corner.

Comment from Malmax


Well if this is just for fun I can't wait to see what you do when your in full force! This silhouetted egret is gorgeous against this fiery
hot background. I like this because it has a wonderful tropical feel to it. Excellent blending of the sky and ocean that really gives this a
dramatic tone. Red Hot FS!
