Image created last month during a cruise at Nile river (Egypt). Our ship passed just a few feet away from this Little Egret. The bird didn't seem to bother at all. I made this picture from our cabin window. This must be a new world record for the bigest hide ever :D

Hi Petros.
A beautiful portrait with great exposure and detail. You did well to capture this from a cabinn window. We were on the Nile River last month but it was for dinner. No opportunities like this. Beautiful BG too. thanks for sharing.

Hello Petros,
This is a nice set up with a very lovely BG. I would a hair more of sharpening.

Very nice portrait and BG. I wish for a bit more head turn toward you and a tad more sharpening.

Petros,
Nice work getting the image on a passing boat. Of course you could not wait for a head turn. I would try increase the luminance of the image (Levels and mid-tone slider) and sharpen the bird a bit more. Nice clean BG.

Nice as presented, specially given the circumstances. Head turn would have been ideal :)
