    Default Great White Egret

    Shot taken at Merrit Island Refuge. The light was great just not to many birds, If I had a kayak I would have had other opportunities.............Might have to get one!

    Mike:

    I like the perch/grip, muted BG, exposure. Wish the head was a bit more our way.

    Cheers

    It's nice to see you posting on BPN, Mike. It seems for some reason I may have missed your previous threads. You have stunning light here, and the environment is very appealing. Agree with Randy that it would have made for a slightly more intimate capture had the egret been facing toward you just a little bit. He sure has a great pose though. If it were mine, I would take a tad off of the right and bottom to move him just a little more out of center. Looking forward to more!

    Lovely pose. I would respectfully disagree on cropping off the bottom or right - as I like the junction of the perch and water in the image. Just my opinion though. The whites look a bit hot, so I would consider trying to extract some detail by burning a bit.
