Great Egret... breeding colors
I captured this image in the rookery at the alligator breeding pond in Gatorland, Orlando, Florida. Bird in the shade, background in the sun. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
Nikon D500

1/1600 F/8 Matrix Metering EV +2/3 ISO 1800 WB set by eyedropper on whites on head, camera supported by a monopod
Post processed in Lightroom Classic CC, Photoshop CC 2019 and Neat Image for noise reduction
Cropped from horizontal moving the vertical box for composition and presentation
P.S. I was photographing the bird with the head parallel to the sensor when it decided to pluck a feather. I didn't have time to change to vertical lest I not capture the image.
