I got to the pond just as the marsh birds started coming in to drink and bathe. When the tide is high they can't feed efficiently, so they take a break.
Roseate Spoonbills and a Great Egret. I got a lot of shots, it will take time to process them all.

You didn't answer my question about taking your work to a gallery. I have other ideas about what you can do with your photos. None will make you rich but they can help pay for your presuit of photography.

All the galleries around here are owned by liberal extremists, they don't like me, LOL. I'm not really welcomed by the Audubon people either, they know I hunted most of my life, and can't understand how a hunter can love nature.
One of them once asked me how I got close to birds, I told him I hunted them like I wanted to eat them. That one floated like a lead balloon, LOL!
The level of hatred I see coming from the left is mind boggling, maybe psychotic. I just keep my distance, better that, than get my name in the paper for slapping the crap out of someone!

"The effects you can create with software make a darkroom just too much trouble."A matter of opinion. I love black and white. Much better done in the darkroom.

"I just keep my distance, better that, than get my name in the paper for slapping the crap out of someone!"Isn't odd that people who understand nature are crapped on by people who don't.

Too sharp and the gray scale is off. But not bad on the whole. I like the drip off the beak.

I just desaturated. If you set out for B/W it works pretty good. I took 300 images yesterday, what would that cost in film?

A fair amount plus the time and chemicals to produce the image. Much less develope the film. But that is just me.

Spoonbills in St. Augustine! North of me in Ocala! I thought that they never got much further north than the Everglades.
