Probably theee most entertaining bird I've ever enjoyed shooting, this Reddish Egret sent me home with some really great images of the funkiest poses. This one I thought was pretty funny. Ft Desoto Fl
Canon 1D MIII 300 mm 2.8 L IS lens
ISO 800 f5.6@1/2500
Tripod. I clipped the birds left wing by a hair so had to add some canvas.
Cropped from left and top about 20%
The pose is awesome Cheryl!
love it!
Nice raised foot and water droplets
Great DOF for 5.6.
Tack sharp,

Wow, fantastic pose captured in nice muted light, Cheryl.
I feel the same way about this bird. It is always a treat to find them at Fort DeSoto or Fort Myers Beach or some other places.
For someone who called me yesterday morning from Ft DeSoto complaining about the weather, it looks as though your maker didn't let you down after all those prayers and positive thinking!!! Love the sharpness and details in the head and neck feathers, as well as the unique pose and raised leg. The muted light appears to have worked to your advantage. There is evidence of your added canvas.
Cheryl, Muted light definitely worked to your advantage...What a cool pose! Sharpness, Exposure and raised foot all looks great. Well done.
I too love the pose, great detail in the feathers as well.

hahahaha....what a character ! nice light for sure and loving the fine feather detail around the neck and head
Thanks for that heads up Marina. I have fixed the canvas oops and I blame it on using content aware and getting a seam that I needded to clone away. Thanks for the description of usigt the marques tool and not selection tool to select my area for fill. Hope it helpsQuote:

Absolutely killer pose; you've timed this perfectly. Light looks great and I love the water.
80% of FF with a bare 300mm! I have to make it to Fort Desoto.
Terrific image.
Cheryl, excellent one. I like the nice funny pose and great details on the bird.
Great pose,and nice light,sharp with good details.thanks.
Fun pose, sharp with good detail and I like the pastel color of the water. Well done!
TFS,
Rachel
Excellent dynamic pose nice exposure and details
sweet Cheryl!
Wow, what a unique pose!! Glad to see this bird in a different avatar. Sharpness, exposure looks good. Great work.
Now that is a high impact pose...love it!! The eyes look so intense. Love the forming wave behind the subject. You've added just the correct amount of canvas, just needs to fix the subtle seam Marina pointed out. Super nice!
Its all been said, super shot
Wow!!! Excellent shot. I just love, love the pose, very nice soft light, excellent feather details, and great comp.
Very well done.
huge WOW factor in this one, Cheryl. A bird I'd definitely like to photograph one day.
great great pose and colors. shooting angle pretty much perfect. Addition of canvas is quite good except some areas. the ripple pattern over the OR in your signature is what gives it away. If you re-do that, it will be very hard to detect.
Thanks everyone for the input. I have fixed the canvas and would love any suggestions on adding canvas with content aware to not get a seam. ThanksQuote:
