The original image of this flying Great Egret showed very little color because of the strong backlight against a soft blue afternoon sky. After toying around with this image in Photoshop I tried a B&W version, something I very seldom do with my wildlife photos.
I like the results, do you?
Captured at Lake Marion, Florida.

I love the results. I assume you were flying right alongside with a camera sandy
That's a great shot and I really like the black & white...
I think this is great. The B&W adds to the majesty
The wing patterns are so pretty.
Happy Birding,Ruth
I really like the shot and I love B&W. Great Job,

Stunning, just stunning!
Wow! It's very balletic looking. Gorgeous.
I'm the same as you: I avoid doctoring photos because I can't remember which ones I photoshopped after the fact. But there are times that I do, to capture an effect or highlight an element within. Great article in time this week about "reverse evolution" and how hunting "prize game" has caused a reverse in preferred genes in rams, bucks, etc. You'd enjoy it. Actually, that was Newsweek, not Time.
Salty: I do like the results but it looks so much like a heron in this shot. You captured it beautifully.
You are so right FG, my mistake!
Salty,
I think this works well in B&W! It emphasizes the bird's shape and plays up the lightness of the wings, Very nice!
Oh my gosh! This photo elicits so much mood and emotion from me! This is truly amazing - I love it.
