Reddish Egret White Morph

Here's one of many frames I captured of this cooperative Reddish Egret back in February at Bunche Beach.

D500, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 640, 1/4000s @ f/8 manual.

Nice exposure and the white bird really pops against the dark BG. I love the spiral splash youve captured here and the beak still slightly open. No real nits from me here it all works well. TFS

The splash and water spray are spectacular, and the whites couldn't be any more bang on if you wanted them to be. My only curiosity is if there's enough room for the virtual feet at the bottom of the frame. Maybe consider seeing what happens if you expand canvas just a bit? Still an excellent shot.

A real 'wow' shot Bill. Love that splash and the framing/composition. As usual, IQ and tone are first class. Perfect contrasting background to round this off. Top shot.

All of the positives are noted above and nothing to suggest from here. Well done.

with love, artie

Thank you all. Your comments are always appreciated.

Missed this somehow. Really nice Bill. Bird looks excellent against that dark background. Splash takes it over the top. I really need to get down there and do some shooting.

Thanks Isaac. You would love all the tame birds down there.
