Scan of a Kodachrome25 slide taken in 1978 in the Everglades National Park, Florida. This is a Great Egret for those who want to know. He had just attempted catching a fish but missed. You can see a circular ripple on the surface below his beak where a drop of water had just landed as his neck retracted. Thanks for your visit and comments. Tom
This is a very nice shot. I love the Egret, he looks very intense. The mottled blues and greens are very interesting, I'm not sure if those are like the original, it seems to look very blue. This reminds me very much of those mysterious paintings or posters that one sees of unicorns or other magical creatures.
Thank you for taking the time to look at and comment on this image Nawitka. I think the colors are very close to the original 30 year old slide, although I did add some saturation. It is very interesting to me to hear that it reminds you of something "magical". I kind of feel the same way about this image.
