Early morning cattle egret on cedar roost...

Another whitey. Sharpening DPP = 0 Smart sharpen 100, .6 for web presentation. Is it sharp enough? This older lens combo did have trouble and needed to be stopped down unlike the next gen glass. RF telephototo lens and TCs coming this year. I am always on the lookout for white birds very early with deep shadows behind them.

Thanks for your previous valued comments. Please keep them coming.

A beauty for sure. Love that white bird against that dark background. Framing is spot on. Nice detail in those whites.

Looks great to me David, it looks well detailed and certainly sharp to my eyes. I like the contrast - very striking well done.

[Jack Backs]

Nice image with very good white detail. I'm a fan of blackdrop images.

[Dorian Anderson]

A very striking image, and I think the green anchors the high-contrast nicely. Great engaging look. Exposure looks pretty good, but I wish the details were the slightest bit crisper. I might clone out the faint reddish branch and the few other green blobs at upper right.

This could be a tad sharper for me, but a nice frame.

Hi David ... sorry not working for me .
Critical sharpness / fine details are missing IMHO
And the hefty blacks are killing this image for me ... sorry . Just being honest .
