I photographed this Egret trying to move a vine out of it's fishing area. My clock is wrong in camera...the photograph was taken around 8am EST.

Thank you,

Duane

very nice image Duane, only suggestion would be to tale some off the top., to raise the bird in the frame., nice exposure!

[Harshad Barve]

Another vote for some off the top. Great whites and sweet habitat. Very elegant.

[Connie Mier]

Agree with above suggestions, the exposure on the whites is excellent.

[Lance Peters]

Great job on the exposure.

Thank you for the suggestions about the crop...but it's staying as is. :) I have no room at the bottom of the image for a lower crop anyway without adding canvas. My main focus with this image was the exposure on the whites in bright sunlight.

Beautifully exposed Duane, nice job..
