Nice contrast between those great green moses and your egret. The reflection at first glace semms odd but the more I look the more I liked it.

I like the saturated color contrasts; I just wish for a teeny bit better angle on his face.

I like this a lot Bob. I like the composition and the reflection, and being able to see the feet under water is a bonus! Very nice image. Congrats!

Good composition and exposure Bob, the bird really pops from the image.

Bob - Pretty Image! This has a nice easy feel to it. I also like the way you placed the shore line in a diagonal.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it that weekend. It looks like you guys captured some fine shots. Turns out it was my 11th anniversary that Sat. (I almost forgot
