After a 2 week hiatus, I got back to the field :) I went out to capture some photos of the very rare white-faced ibis and came back with some keepers of a pair of Cattle Egret. This one is my favorite of the bunch, although I do wish there was a bit more separation between the two birds (IMO, making the crop easier). I could see how taking some off of the sides might be beneficial, but for some reason, I'm not a fan of square-ish crops. Thoughts?
Hi Miguel, lovely soft light, which in turn has brought out the whites nicely. I do like the incoming pose of the egret on the left, and that we can see both eyes of the perched egret. The incoming egret pops so well against the BG, and Im fine with the comp as is.
Hi Miguel,
I like the comp as is.
BG has lovely complimentary colors.
I would clone out the lone diagonal branch on RHS at the bottom.
Exposure is excellent and the incoming bird looks great and tack sharp.
I wish you had been a bit more to your left to separate the sitting egret from the grasses a bit more.
These are very minor issue though and I like the shot very much,
Gail
Liking very much the flight posture of the left hand bird, wishing the nesting bird was a little more side on as well. Background and natural vegetation is rather nice and doesn't compete with the bird at all.....sweet shot
Really nice behavior shot Miguel and I love the painterly effect of that soft light. Beautiful incoming pose. Only wish the head of the bird at the nest was not looking pretty much straight ahead. But I like this a lot.
