While out shooting some sunset photos with my wide angle lens on the camera a Great Egret passed close by. I managed to pan and get two shots off at a relatively slow shutter speed.

Interesting shot, Harvey. I'd prefer the bird a bit farther from the left side and the head of the bird sharp. It's fun to try new things.

You have certainly captured the implied motion here Harvey!! - it makes me feel quite dizzy - like being on a fairground ride 8)

Harvey,

This is very well executed. I agree with Sandy about moving the egret a little farther to the right. Lots of possible compositions. Might work well cropped to a horizontal also.

This originally was a horizontal out of the camera but there was so much dead space frame right that doing a massive crop in that orientation really degraded the image.

Harvey, I like to see different approaches to bird photography as you have done here. I do wish the bird was larger in the frame.

Cool idea. I think it would work better as a horizontal because that implies motion better than a vertical.

Horizontal for me too for the implied motion. Vertical works better for the magazine cover. ;)

Cool shot!!

I do think a horizontal would be good here. I'm always amazed at your creativity.
