This image is actually two images. The original egret was taken with a black background, I removed all the black and layered it over the palmetto and removed the color from the palmetto to make it white. Thanks Rod www.rjwileyphoto.com www.adayintheswamp.com

STUNNING!!!! Beautiful details in your whites. An interesting composition. I love the tone on tone and I love the BG Palmetto. I might tone down the beak a tiny hair. Very nice PP work.

Very nice Rod! I would be tempted in increasing contrast just a bit, but removing the distraction of color from the vegetation in order to emphasized shape, line and form is brilliant. Excellent work~Bill

Bright white where it counts and a great eye
