This was taken at Fort Desoto in 2012. I will be going back soon and hope to get some nice images. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Great job with the details in the whites. The eye contact adds a lot too. Wish for the feet to be seen and a looser crop.

I love the IQ and the perfect exposure and the details in the feathers. Just wishing I could see the feet,

Hi Jim, you nailed the whites - great feather showing all over the egret. I like the vertical comp, and it seems you werent going to get the feet in no matter what angle/shooting height you could have tried.

Lovely portrait. Wishing feet and more room also. Lovely whites against the blue BG.

Thanks Alan, Gail, Stuart and Marina for your comments and suggestions.
