Cattle Egret

[Steve Crutchfield]

Taken at St. Augustine Alligator Farm. 5D with 100-400 at 280mm....

That's a pretty image of the egret. Nice capture of its head and face/breast feathers. More room on the left would improve this image. What's nice also about this is that you show the environment without an obtrusive background.

Nice environmental image. I would give him some more room up front....I would brighten up his face slightly as well....

Compositional concerns mentioned. I like that you've got his crown feathers up and that you've included some environment without compromising the clarity of the egret. Nicely done.

Hi Crutch! A very nicw portrait of the cattle egret in breeding plumage. Agree that more space required on left side for subject to look into!!
I must admit I do prefer to see some of the environment as you have shown here.
