Breeding Egret

[Don Lacy]

Great Egret with the beautiful green lore they get during mating season. When looking at the metadata for this image I saw it was created with the much maligned 7D at ISO 400 I still think this camera has a bad rep do to its unforgiving nature as it needs a properly exposed RAW file to get best IQ from it along with the proper post processing.

7D, 500 f/400, 1/1000 at f/5.6, Manual Mode, Evaluative Metered, ISO 400, Tripod

Hi Don,
Very nice image. I like the detail throughout the whites with very good DOF. Love the green lore as you mentioned.

Attractive close up Don, the color is great!
A bit more room though would look nice for me.

Nice detail on Whites, would like to see more space in front of Egret. IQ excellent.

Nice portrait shot, love the details in the white, Don.

Lovely portrait, Don. Killer BG and the lore to match. Super details in the feathers.

Wonderful shot.
Excellent pose and properly exposed.
Details are excellent and very nice background.
Well done.
