What??? No landscape image? The other night I took my camera club out to the Martinez Regional Shoreline and while I did take a lot of landscape photos, I thought I’d post the only one that wasn’t a landscape. Shockerrrrr!
This little guy was perfectly content to go about learning the ways of an Egret while I snapped his picture. Hope you like what I did with it!

Thank you so much Leslie. I was hoping people would respond positively. Something I don’t do a whole lot of, that’s for sure!
September 27, 2016 at 12:52 pm
That was splendid, Laura. I’d like to paint that.

Thanks! I think you’ve mentioned this before with other images. I appreciate that.

Thank you :))

Very nice. I like how you did the monochrome. It helps highlight the eye and “facial” details when you look at the enlargement.

Thanks David. I don’t normally do this kind of thing so I appreciate your comment that I’m on the right track!

Ms Laura…. You have been posting such incredibly beautiful and wonderfully gorgeous images. Green with envy. I have just been unable to pick up my camera to make an image since my best bud Aussie Sherpard died. A big part of my heart and went in the grave with him. Along with any desire to pick up a camera….but I have loved looking at your images. They make my day…….en theos…Jim

Thank you so much Jim. I’m so glad that you enjoy them and hope they bring a little bit of joy to you. I know how that feels, losing a part of the family like that. I haven’t had any pets since my beloved Hobbes passed about 3 years ago. I miss him terribly. BIG HUGS

Thank you so much!

Wow!!! He looks 3D!! I don’t know if that was your intention but that’s what this guy looks like!! Amazing! And your sense of humor rocks, FYI …. ❤
September 27, 2016 at 3:55 pm
Thank you! My intention was just to make him artistic. And I’m glad you like my humor!!! 😀

Laura, This is a magnificent image. Great job. There were a bunch of egrets fishing at low tide at Crissy the other day, but alas, too far, no long lens. Eye photo. 🙂
September 27, 2016 at 3:56 pm
Thank you so much Jane. 🙂 I had my 24-120mm on my Nikon. Not really a bird lens but this little guy was so close! Plus I cropped the heck out of it. 😉

Wonderful shot, he’s a beauty!
September 27, 2016 at 4:37 pm
Ah youth! Thanks Belinda. 🙂
September 27, 2016 at 5:42 pm
Wow – this is quite beautiful
September 27, 2016 at 6:01 pm
Thank you! I needed a break from the gorgeous sunsets haha!

A beautiful portrait that works very well in monochrome. If I may be so bold, however, I find it a bit overdone on the vignetting. The image would stand very well on its own without the exaggerated emphasis.

Superb Laura!
September 29, 2016 at 8:22 am
Thank you so much Julie. 🙂
September 29, 2016 at 6:25 am
Yes! Killing contrast. How much money did you pay this little guy to walk nice and easy for your shot! Very cool, Laura. Because this little guy is part of your landscape it is still a landscape image… for me. 🙂
September 29, 2016 at 8:23 am
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm! Hm I had a few fish in my pocket. 😉
