I captured this image of a Great Egret in breeding plumage and colors, green lore, red eye and beautiful plumage at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida. There is a rookery in the alligator breeding pond that provides up close viewing and photography of these and other birds. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joe,
raging is correcto! Lov the lores and the red eye, although i think the eye and the skin around that area could use additional sharpening, beautiful feather detail.

Fits the theme very well. The detail in the whites is very nice. I would sharpen the eye more.

Hi Joe. Definitely fits the theme. Whites look good...love the green lore. Yes to a sharper eye. What's the red bits on the bill?
