I captured this image at alligator breeding pond rookery in Gatorland, Orlando, Florida. The egret was sitting on eggs in a nest surrounded by branches and leaves in heavy shade. I shot the image through a small opening in the bushes. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
Nikon D500
Nikon 80-400mm F/4.5-5.6 VRII AF-S ED shot at 400mm
1/400 F/5.6 Matrix Metering +2 EV ISO 6400 AWB, camera supported by a monopod
Post processed in Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC 2017, removed a blue cast on the white feathers caused by the light in the shadows, noise reduction to the shadow areas, eye, lore, and bill in Lightroom using the Adjustment Brush
Pretty much full frame, cropped slightly for composition and presentation
