PESO -- Pink Moon

[P. J. Alling]

With all this talk about the "Magic Hour" I decided to make a pilgrimage 
to the shore and take advantage of the light.  I was actually hoping to 
get some shots of the returning Egrets/Herons/Ibis etc. that are raising 
young on the island in this photo, but the winds were a bit high and the 
bigger birds seemed to have hunkered down to ride it out.  Instead I got 
this shot.  The white spots, that are just barely visible on the island 
are Egrets. 

So I guess it is with some Egrets that I present "Pink Moon".

Tech. Info.:
Pentax *ist-Ds ISO 1600 @ 1/125sec (Av)
smc Pentax-F 70-210mm f4.0~5.6  @ f4.0 (103mm)

Note:  There seems to be something of a loss of the original subtlety of 
light from the raw file to the jpeg.  I'm probably going to try another 
cut at this, or one of the many other slightly different exposures and 
compositions I tried, but this will have to do for now.

As usual comments are welcome, but may be completely ignored.
