Hello my friends - here's the last post for this year and I wish you all the best for 2008.

My warmes wishes and greetings to all TL-members, thanks for all the shots, words and friendship during the year, I'm happy to be a part in this community.

Today you see a Snowy Egret (Egretta thula). It is a small white heron from Egypt, about 60 cm high and its wingspan is about 100 cm.

He was landing on our luxurious ship while being in Luxor. A noble bird - so why not visiting the ship and looking for some goodies from the tourists ;-)

If you like to see this guy closer than click here.

Thanks for looking and any words, enjoy the last day in 2007!

Hi Dear Friend,

Hi Sabine, Very good focus here !
Perhaps this is just a personal preference but i'm thinking the aperture used could have been much bigger - in order to really 'throw off' the background and produce an excellent bokeh.
Nice effort all the same.

Best regards, Daniel

Hi Sabine,

Wishing you always be happy and healthy with family in the year 2008 . .

Hi Sabine,
This is an excellent shot, I managed a couple of shots this summer of these beautiful birds but nowhere as good as this, the exposure is perfect, as is your TN shot.
Well done and a Happy New Year to you.

Hi Sabine. Beautiful clear composition with good DOF shown by the background feature. The colours are very real. TFS. Murray.

Hello Sabine,
Oh my dear... I don't think this cunning fellow has anything nice on his mind, nothing nice at all!
Direct sun on white plumage is well handled, DOF spot on and a pleasant composition!
...
And I wish a HAPPY NEW YEAR will come your way!
Seasonal greetings from Norway,

Hi Wishnu

Perfect dof & sharpness, on the bird, with a neutral, uncluttered bg. Good colour, & light contrasts, too. Tfs!

Hi dear friend,
this it's an outstanding shot!
I know how hard it is to capture this.
Excellent details and posture of the bird.
Best wishes,
Ioana
Good Luck in the New Year!

Salut Wishnu!
On dirai qu'il ne faut pas trop l'embéter!!Il n'a pas l'air commode! lol
Tres bon mise au point.
Les couleurs sont douces et fideles..bravo!

ablok

ein schiff mit einem reiher? *g* auch vögel möchten ab und zu mal schön reisen.
klasse nahaufnahme, da hast du ihn wohl kaum gestört, oder hast du ihn mit deinem tollen tamron 18-250 rangezoomt?
naja, bei 109mm ging´s wohl. die schwarzen beine mit den gleben füßen gefallen mir am besten.

alles gute für 2008! & viele grüße, thor.

Hi Wishnu,
Nice shot, very well done.
Great sharpness and POV
Greetings
Raimundo

Hello Sabine,

Wonderful picture. This egret is so beautiful.

TFS

Very nice capture, with beautiful details of the feathers, beautiful background too!
