Greater White Egret

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Nikon D3s 600 VR 1/8000 at F4 ISO 2000. This was taken in warm light, early morning. I should have used a slightly lower ISO. Taken from a boat on the Chobe river.

high Vivaldo, nice details in the whites! looks like you maxed the SS! love the water drops. I see a slight halo from USM around the bird. awesome capture like it a lot

Thanks Arash, I tried again, reduced sharpening slightly, hope this looks better.

Vivaldo, good low level flight angle, and the whites look good. I like the inclusion of the grasses in the lower part of the frame.

Marvelous image.Loved the flight pose and lights.

Great low angle on the light, lovely details and second the comment on the grass.

It looks and feels like a great day to be on a river.
