What a bird, Neon! Its so wonderful that you found its nest too. Thanks so much for the closeup pictures of such a striking Heron!
Hows it feel to be back on land now? Will you be `free' for long?

Nice captures Neon Specially the close-up on the palm leaf. It's good that you caught them in daylight as they are usually more active at night

Congrats, Neon..... I need to update my file photo of this bird too! Master Romy, you can schedule anytime as there is a breeding colony, still with eggs in the nests.

Exxcellent shots, Neon! But I noticed this batch is more sharpened, more saturated, and a tad more noise than your usual shots. Did you change monitors or PP machine? Or is it my monitor again!

Yes I agree with your comments, the first photo has a lot of noise due to the original photo was underexposed, I need to adjust the exposure using raw processing which created a lot of noise. This is one reason I need to go back to this place again. ;D I was also playing with sharpening, was lazy to redo the whole process again. Thanks for your comments...I guess I'll go back to the drawing boards!!! ;D Cheers
