a wonderful capture of this beautiful snowy egret; looks so sad with her broken wing; excellent sharp focusand control of exposure for the white "color":

The filter did work nicely to add motion and an electric feel. The pose has some really nice tension in the lines of her neck in relation to the wing. She may have hurt it trying to be free..Alas..a cage IS a cage. Donkeyoatey

Comment from Sange
Lovely, elegant and my favorite signature pose for birds. Love when they look down. This is fine work E, but the only think I would suggest is the De-saturating of the color blue. Remember we discussed this on the phone about the prism like colors that show up on white? Tone down the blue, magenta in lightroom.
Fine shot of this humble bird!

A very nice photo of this impressive bird. Good colours and sharp whites captured with a good dof used. Nicely framed.

Nice shot!
It is great there is places like this and wish there were more of them. I like the way this filter works. It seems like every time I think I am set as far as programs go another one comes along that I feel I can not do without. LOL!

Even with the broken wing, she is fabulous. This is quid an elegant pose. The feathers do look really cool the filter. Well done.

Comment from Lynda Joyce
It's almost like you can see a sadness, or emotion in this Egret. A very beautiful photo, I love the background colors and depth. And she's still beautiful.
