Thanks Howard! I try different stuff ever once in a while just for a change of pace. I love this digital medium! It’s definitely not your typical bird image. Glad you liked it.

Very cool. I like it. Looks like a snowy egret with the yellow feet.

Thanks John. I couldn’t believe how nice the foot with water drops came out. I found that in post processing. In fact I wasn’t sure what I was going to end up with in these type of photos.

Wonderful abstract!
Were you also panning, in addition to the low shutter speed ?

Thanks Bill! Yes sir, I had my ballhead loose so I could follow him as he was moving from spot to spot. He was extremely active. I knew I’d never get a good clear image of him so I went to plan “B” and try to get something like this image. It was really an experiment with low shutter speed. This is the only one that came out good enough to post. I was having a blast too.
