Snowy Egret

Del Mar, CA

In case you view one of my posts and do not see a comment from my good friend Herb, it is because he has observed that I Photoshopped it into something that wasn’t there in the first place.

So today’s earlier post was one such act on my part. My picture of the egret against nothing more than a blue sky seemed boring, so I moved it over in front of the Del Mar Club House.

Now, wanting to demonstrate the power of Herb’s 400 mm prime lens without any “messing around” I’m putting this one up which was taken at about the same time.

Before I read your commentary on this photo I thought to myself... hmmm, I wonder what herb has to say about this shot. I'd say it is quite good indeed. See, not everything has to be forged to be good!

What you did to the earlier shot is the same thing advertising houses do to their shots.
I liked it. I like this one too.

I enjoyed the earlier post, Robin, but this beauty really shows off Herb's lens and your talented eye.
