In a word. Superb. Fantastic composition and wonderful rendering of the bird's colouring re the background.

Again, wonderful.

Stayed last night in the little fishing town of Looe, in Cornwall...

Beautiful shot. And yes, I love urban shots (and the blue light, too).

Thanks folks! I'm originally from Sandyford, which is just up the road a bit from Cabinteely, and it has changed a lot. Even more, given that when I was in short trousers some four decades ago, most of the area was fields with cows. Now the dairy farms have given way to server farms...

I have shot and posted a number of Government HQs, such as the Custom House and Dublin Castle, but I don't know if I'd go for a full series, so to round off, here's a quick shot of the Taoiseach's (Prime Minister's) place:

Ah, yes. I know that one.

Actually, you have a very nice series of shots taken of Government buildings; in fact, they are far better than any official shots I have seen.

Nice framing of the wingspan. Looks like yet another winner.

Thanks Peter and Ish for the nice comments. Peter, another beauty three posts up; love the colors and compostion.

So majestic -- wonderful photo, Cheese&Apple

One word.... WOAH!

Your bird pictures are terrific!

In a word. Superb. Fantastic composition and wonderful rendering of the bird's colouring re the background.

Thank you all again for your comments. You're the Best!

This is another terrific capture MCH-1138. You've taken great advantage of the beautifully subtle lighting. Well done.

Went into town today and found this place on the way out of London bridge station.

Very good picture, and taken from a lovely angle; I really like the strong lines.

Thanks, Scepticalscribe.

Many thanks, Peter. One more snowy egret for the moment (although there are a few others on my Flickr page if anyone is interested).

You really are an extraordinarily gifted photographer of birds.

While the first picture is excellent, the shot of the snowy egret studying his reflection is simply wonderful.

Although all of your snowy egret photos are great, I like this one the best. I love reflection photos. Here's one more from my venture into Yellowstone NP. This ram struck a regal pose for me.

What a magnificent and majestic creature, captured beautifully. Gorgeous shot, and the animal's posture is wonderfully portrayed.

This photo was kind of a mistake, was messing around, but when looking through the shots the composition caught me.

Enjoying that drone I see. Nice.

I'm out of recent shots, so going back to my archives a bit...

This is one of my fav photos from last year when I had the opportunity to visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia. I was exploring the Bayon temple in the late afternoon and was pretty much the only one there except for a couple of Monks. I ducked into an alcove to avoid the downpour...
