Description Snowy Egret, at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Ecological Preserve in Huntington Beach, California. This was taken at the exact same spot as 'Preening Pelican'.Three things that please me in this image are: 1) the arched shape caused by the interesting posture as he/she preens, 2) the subtle white tones and feather details, 3) how well those soft whites play against the gray background.
David Rollins, Huntington Beach, California Member Since January 2009 Artist Statement Southern California is a great place to be a photographer. My favorite subjects include birds, flowers, landscapes and waterscapes, sunrises and sunsets. I love macro (extreme close-up) photography because it shows common subjects in an uncommon way. And I've become addicted to the unlimited creative possibilities of digital imagery,
