Love that raised foot and those toes!!! You did a good job getting nice and low for this capture.

Some of the spots in the grass and the upper right BG are a little distracting. The whites of your bird are looking a little muddy, but not quite sure why. I hope someone else will take a look and help you out.

Thanks Marina, the light wasn't too great and the Egret was moving from a sunny area to shaded zones and the light was changing, hence I used a ISO 800, that could be one reason, I did not apply NR to the bird, only the BG.

Sanjeev - nice raised foot here. Good low perspective, although I wish he was facing more toward you than away from you. Also this doesn't look like a little egret. Looks like the cattle egrets we have on this side of the world. Not sure what's your equivalent.

Thanks Faraaz, yes it is a cattle Egret, thanks for correcting.
