Little Egret - The Top Model

[Luis Patacao]

In a morning shoot with the light changing several times, i made this image as the little egret was jumping around chasing his meal. The posse reminds me of a top model and also this image comes as a follow for the image 1 on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/patacao/13989007911/).

Comments and critiques appreciated!

I like the tilted pose, symmetrical wing positions, and size and placement of the subject in the frame. I'd look into reducing the cast on the feathers.

It's always fun to photograph egrets while they are feeding. This image works but I would try to reduce the yellows in the white bird feathers which are probably due from the water reflection.
