I was set up to take a photo of the reflections when the birds flew into the scene. Made a great photo even better.

When She Walks She Moves So Fine Like A Flamingo
Sunset with Marabou Storks – South Luangwa River, Zambia
In quiet light, a golden glow / lasting a hundred perfect heartbeats… Artist’s notes: I have had the wonderful chance of seeing herons actually sunning themselves like this. In fact, there was one day that absolutely struck me with awe about the playfullness of these birds. I was working with a sheetrock crew, and the house we were at was on the banks of the Columbia river. We’d had a series of strange weather incidents in the valley, all of which flooded the river, and actually made a huge mess of it with countless trees/logs, branches, etc. being swept down the mountains and into the water. So for a couple of days, there was an endless log jam floating down the river. I was taking a break at the house during one of those days, and noticed herons standing on the logs floating down the river. They had their wings held out like in my picture above, and they were facing the sun. They would float down just so far, then turn and fly back up river. Next thing you know…here they’d come again… on a new log. All day long these herons kept repeating that cycle, catching rides on the logs while they could…and sunning themselves in the process. I thought that was so interesting and cool. Plus, I love herons anyway…so, it just seemed fitting to add one to this piece. :) (Original, 11×17 300dpi) / FULL VIEW RECOMMENDED* —-—- Stock Credits: model: mjranum-stock http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/art/Little-Black-Goth-5-59785430 / Boat and water: sxc.hu http://www.sxc.hu/photo/937674 / wing brushes: faeth-design http://faeth-design.deviantart.com/art/Wing-Brush-74055731 / textures: my own ©2007-2008 Aimee Stewart, Foxfires / My artwork and photos do not belong to the public domain

Thanks for your help George Lenz / Layers and blends used in PhotoShop… / By using Photoshop, I used 4 different layers here to configure this piece. I took the clouds in one layer, added the egrets in another layer, George Lenz was so kind to help me with the moon layer and I also added a nice flood filter to give the reflections and blending them all in I’m staring out into the night / And trying to hide the pain / I’m going to the place where love / and feeling good don’t ever cost a thing, / And the pain you feel’s a different kind of pain / I’m going home to the place where I belong / where your love has always been enough for me / I’m running from you know I think you got me all wrong / I don’t regret this life I chose for me / But these places and these faces are getting old / So I’m going home / The miles are getting longer it seems / The closer I get to you…. babe / I’ve not always been the best woman and friend for you / But your love remains true and I don’t know why / You always seem to give me another try / I’m going home / To the place where I belong / Where your love has always been good enough for me / I’m running from you know I think you got me all wrong / I don’t regret this life I chose for me / But these places and these faces are getting old / Be careful what you wish for / cause you just might get it all / you just might get it all and then some you dont want / be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all / You just might get it all / I’m going home to the place where I belong / Where your love has always been enough for me / And I’m running from.. you know I think you got me all wrong / I don’t regret this life I chose for me’ / But these places and these faces are getting old / But these places and these faces are getting old / I’m going home Credits to Chris Daughtry

The defensive Tower house of Smailholm, just over the Scottish border, near Kelso. The tower was built in the mid 1400’s at a time when lawlessness and violent bands of reivers, ravaged the lands both sides of the English-Scottish border. And a solitary white swan, resides below the Tower Even today, the landscape is lonely, and you can easily imagine the starkness of those dark days. Dreary dull, grey, original digital photograph. / Lots of photoshop layers and borrowed sunset from my bonny Northumberland, Budle Bay photo. Inversion and refining with digital painting….. it would have been easier to conventionally paint this!!
This is definately one of the most beautiful places of the world, at the most beautiful time of the day :) Noosa River, Noosaville, Queensland. 1000’s of Rainbow Lorikeets fly above, in their afternoon social time, hanging out in the tall Gum Trees. If you stand within 50 metres of the tree, you can’t hear yourself think for the noise, it’s so wonderful an experience! This colour happens most nights, but this cloud formation does not happen often at all, in my opinion, the perfect sky :) I hope you enjoy this shot, as much as I enjoyed shooting this one. Available Large, and best viewed large. Actual print size is 1600mm x 1000mm. Canon 50D, 10mm, no filters needed, as this was the true colour of the evening.
