Cattle Egret

I went to the University of Pretoria yesterday, and came away with this inflight Egret. The BG is OOF water, covered in duckweed. OK, the HA could have been a tad better. ;)

sharp, good wing spread, great light, nice background. Nice how the bird is lined up with the background!:)

Stuart, Nice flight pose. I like the BG. The feet are sooo sharp.:)

Loved the sharpness here Bhai.. nicely done.

Lovely flight pose and sharpness. Those feet look awesome. Wish for a better HA. Whites below the wing look a bit hot, but take that with a grain of salt as I don't trust my monitor.

Thanks a stack for looking and for the comments. Always appreciated.

Whites look good from here. Only wish for a better HA (but you know that already!:)).

Mm, almost as good as it gets except it's slightly angled away. Awesome colors bro! Well done. :)

Nice sharp flight shot Stuart, like the backgound which gives a sense of motion and great to capture the bird in breeding plumage.

Thanks a lot for the comments. Much appreciated.
