Freeport 03

Egrets are in abundance in Freeport and all along the Texas coast. In fact, there are many species of egret who's ranges converge along the waters of Brazoria County.

This guy parked himself mere steps from the door of River Place. In wildlife photography the secret is to focus on the eye. Unfortunately, I missed just a tad on this one, but fortunately I had taken another photo in which the eye was in perfect focus. The solution? Using the magic of Photoshop, I copied the eye from the other shot and pasted it into this one, feathering the edges (no pun intended) to blend smoothly with the surrounding features.
