White on Black

Snowy Egret, Sunken Meadow State Park, Long Island NY
This image was created one late afternoon at Sunken Meadow. Was shooting at a downward angle and into a darkened area of the water. The Egret came flying in and I tried to capture it against the dark BG exposing for the white bird. No flash so as not to lighten up the BG.
This image was selected as a NANPA top 100 image this year.
D2x, 500mm AF-S, ISO 200, f8, 1/800, Gitzo 1325, Wimberley Head II

Hey George,
This image is very nice, I really like the high contrast yet you did very well with the exposure. The wings positions are also very appealing!
Excellent work!

George, I see why it was a winner. I find that the contrast of white on black to be powerfully attention getting.

Congratulations on the top 100 selection!
I like the pose and the wings too. My only wish is to see the bill a little more, but against the black BG that would be a lot to ask.
