Nice shot, good details. I would have chosen a lower ISO and shutter speed. A better HA would be preferable also.
To bad about the dark plants in the BG but that can't be helped. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thank You Tim. You are right i should have used lower ISO. i was having the settings for BIF shots. i think i should have a custom mode for stationary shots..

Anil this is a lovely capture good for you:S3:,Tim's comment made me ponder what shutter speed should have been used? The egret is flapping wings so why would one use a slower shutter here than for BIF? Anil i'm learning too so am very interested as I would have pushed my iso here to get shutter speed up.

TFS

take care
