Little Egret

Little Egret, wading on the high spring tide at Newtown, Isle of Wight.
Waters were calm today, so no bobbing round to contend with whilst photographing the birds.

Can't see the picture Stuart, just the little red cross?

Hmm can't see what the problem is here!? The link is correct, but it just won't display!

Re: Little Egret

Hi Stuart;

Flickr is always a bugger (for me anyway)... I can never figure out what image page and/or HTML tags you need to wrap around the URL to get the image to display... That's why I always use PhotoBucket

Doesn't help you I know... but at least you have a great image there...

EDIT PS: I wonder if it's because you have 'The owner has disabled downloading of their photos' enabled ???

Re: Little Egret

I agree. Photobucket is the best for me- thanks to CF's advice some full moons ago!!

Re: Little Egret

Ditto with regard to the Flickr problems, I too use PhotoBucket, but putting that to one side I have looked at the URL and really like the picture, the use of the DOF I think works well and the clarity of the bird is great.

Re: Little Egret

Thanks all for the Photobucket info - picture works fine now :)

Re: Little Egret

Picture works fine for me as well.

Good composition, whites held well and effective use of small depth of field. Glad you used photobucket, I wouldn't have liked to miss this one.
