 This is my first photo in this contest. I was on a Master Naturalist field trip to the saltwater marshes this morning and noticed this small egret next to the small tree. I remember seeing another photo on this site that was shot in tungsten wb, so I tried the shot. The only alterations were to crop and apply soft filter. Thanks, Craig

Lovely photo, but I can't understand why it is in the Red challenge. I wish it were in Free Study so I could give it the high score I think deserves.
 03/13/2007 11:37:44 AM
I like the photo very much but how does it apply to the challenge?
 03/13/2007 08:08:36 AM
Very nice nature portrait, and I give you "snaps" for choosing a courageous new path in the RED II challenge...dnmc.
 03/13/2007 06:53:13 AM
Not red at all. Would be nice entry for blue
 03/12/2007 06:13:32 PM
I don't see how his meets the challenge.
 03/11/2007 04:13:13 PM
Red? even his invisible feet are yellow! nice photo though.
 03/11/2007 12:37:36 PM
Wow, this is a great picture but not a spot of red that I can see.
 03/11/2007 11:08:11 AM
Maybe I'm color blind - but I can't see any red here... DNMC
(nice picture though - shouldn't have entered this challenge)
 03/11/2007 09:54:48 AM
blue is the contrary to red and red is the challenge title... that's fine, :-)
 03/11/2007 08:58:24 AM
dnmc?
 03/11/2007 08:20:23 AM
Nice picture, wrong Challenge...
 03/11/2007 07:08:35 AM
I don't see any red.
 03/11/2007 05:14:40 AM
delightful shot . . . but red?? Maybe that's what the bird likes to be known as. lol.
 03/10/2007 10:36:35 PM
this is very pretty but I don't see any red. maybe my monitor is not picking it up. is it his beak?
 03/10/2007 08:34:17 PM
Red? Stunning photo... but no red....
 03/10/2007 07:30:58 PM
I know there's some red in here. Hmmmm.... Lemme look again.....
 03/10/2007 05:55:01 AM
red? this is a great picture though.
 03/09/2007 02:55:16 PM
red?
 03/09/2007 02:05:52 PM
This is such a beautiful image! I love the reflection and color/tone. Sadly it has nothing to do with the challenge topic! Straight up shot I'd give this at least a 8 or 9. Since it DNMC IMHO I'm passing and not voting. Feel free to PM me if you feel I'm missing the challenge connection and I will revisit your shot for voting.
 03/09/2007 01:22:22 PM
no red
 03/09/2007 12:49:06 PM
Red????
 03/09/2007 12:39:27 PM
Absence of red?? Missed the concept.
 03/09/2007 04:19:26 AM
very nice shot! But I missed some red!
 03/09/2007 04:19:19 AM
Nice but it is not red
 03/09/2007 01:19:39 AM
Like the composition of this shot a lot but the clarity and colours are well off IMO, sorry if this was your desired effect but it dose not work for me.=
 03/09/2007 12:37:56 AM
Cant seem to find red
 03/08/2007 10:24:56 PM
no red! otherwise nice
 03/08/2007 08:17:17 PM
Hmmm
 03/08/2007 06:52:33 PM

 03/08/2007 12:47:59 PM
A magical image. But show us the Reds ;)
 03/08/2007 10:49:21 AM

 03/08/2007 10:39:29 AM
lovley shot but dnmc
 03/08/2007 10:37:16 AM
Did you put this in the challenge by mistake? It's a beautiful image but not suitable for a "Red" challenge. I'll give you the highest vote I can for a photo that doesn't meet the challenge. Good luck.
 03/08/2007 07:42:54 AM
very nice picture. great use of reflection. like the vignette. BUT - as I'm sure you've already heard already: where's the red?
 03/08/2007 07:33:02 AM
I think this was entered in the wrong challenge.
 03/08/2007 06:49:37 AM
dnmc
 03/08/2007 06:17:09 AM
Nice photo but it doesn't say red to me. DMNC

Nice, wrong challenge but nice. Shoulda entered it in free study :) 6 for the great image. J
 03/08/2007 02:26:06 AM
Where is the red? It is a beautiful photo, but IMO, DNMC..
 03/08/2007 01:46:24 AM
i feel that this doesnt meet the challenge, good luck! :o)
 03/07/2007 10:43:12 PM
Wrong challenge eh? (Or am I missing something really creative?)
 03/07/2007 09:37:03 PM

 03/07/2007 06:33:06 PM
Love this composition. Lovely cool blue effect. Don't know what this has to do with red....

 03/07/2007 10:56:48 AM

 03/07/2007 10:46:25 AM

Great picture - love the vignetting effect - could be a little brighter so the Egret stands out more, but where's the red?

 03/07/2007 01:07:22 AM
Wrong challenge?
My vote would be 6-7 in the right challenge, very nice composition but a little more focus will be needed to achieve a higher score.
 03/07/2007 12:04:46 AM
great image, wrong challenge
 03/06/2007 10:43:08 PM
Is there something I'm not getting here? Where's the red???? play on words?

That being said... I like the photo and the soft focus.
 03/06/2007 10:16:30 PM
Very nice, lacking in red...
 03/06/2007 09:02:58 PM
red?
 03/06/2007 08:13:17 PM

 03/06/2007 07:38:31 PM
