Snowy Egret photographed in Santa Cruz, California. I'll always have fond memories of this particular photo as it's the very first image I took using my now favorite style of photography, which features side-lighting. Hand-held, no cropping.

Canon PowerShot SX40 HS 126 mm, f/7.1, 1/640 sec, ISO 100

The warm, low-angle light coming from the side is beautiful. Also, I like the fine detail in the feathers. Wish it were just a little more off center, but overall it’s a fine image, and I can understand your strong feelings for it. Very nice work, Tony.

Your style is so pleasing and unique- really works of art. This one wonderfully dramatic and moody. I can see why you love it-I hope you have a wall full of prints of these hanging somewhere.

I can easily see how this first foray into your own distinctive photography style opened your eyes to the artistry of light, Tony.

I really like your recent Snowy Egret images. For me, your bird has a kind of expression. In this one, I like the water reflection on its body. Very nice.
