The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This set of shots ware taken at Rocky Nick State Park. At this time of year we get a number of Glossy Ibis migrating through CT. Naturally, this set of birds were feeding next to the road and had tall reads between them and the road. This left me photographing them from the walkway, with the sun at a right angle to the Egrets and Ibis. (April 20, at 8:30 AM)

Hi Peter. You did a great job on the exposure of the egrets and capturing a lot of cool action poses, particularly of the one egret leaping into the air. I like the angle of the light in those shots. Unfortunately, I’m not getting a coherent story out of this series. Were the Snowies harassing the Ibises? It kind of looks that way, but they don’t look like they’re reacting to the Snowies.
Maybe not a bullseye for a story, but a nice job of capturing the action and handling the tonalities! Maybe the story is that the Ibises are just not impressed. Nice environment!
Hi Peter, nice exposure and sharpness on the egret you targeted. Seems to be a squabble between the two egrets and the ibis just happened to be there. In any event, nice capture of an interesting scene showing two intriguing species.
Hi Dennis, Diane & Allen
Thank you for the comments. I should have done a better job of explaining what happen in the ten minutes from the first shot (group 1) and when the Egrets (group 2) pushed the Ibis from of edge of the march. There were two groups of Ibis and Egrets. The first shot shows the group that were getting along. The next 3 frames show 2 Snowy pushing Ibis from where they wanted to feed. In the time between the first shot and the next 3, I was walking around trying to time a better showing angle.

When I open up to the full width, you can just see the edge of the second group.
Hi Peter, what a nice series - it’s always so much fun to have several species e/o individuals interacting! Well done on the exposure as well. Nice work ! Hans
