Being a very cooperative model.
Sometimes a bird will stay and almost pose, like a model.

I try to shift and move, just a little, to get a different angle, maybe change the shadow. All the time being careful not to scare him away.

And then suddenly, I realize I have 50 photographs almost exactly the same. He has infinite patience and knows I’ll just leave him sooner or later LOL.
At that point it’s time to develop some in new ways.
Really beautiful!
Thank you. Now I need to force myself to delete the 50 other duplicates of the bird LOL
Ted, this is art!!!
Wow, greatly appreciate. The Egret as subject certainly helps me.
