I was shooting terns diving till sunset. The sun was gone but when these two snowy egrets came along they were flying just high enough so that they caught a bit of the last glow of the day. Not my usual style but I kind of like it. Thanks for looking.

Hey Jim,

Cool shot. Has a great feel to it. The dark feet make them look like Great Egrets. Love the light.

A different type of image that works extremely well, this is beautiful. Lovely soft colors and a serene mood to it.

It surely is not your usual style, Jim! But it's a nice one. I like the mood it gives especially the last light ... :lol:
