Cattle Egret Breeding Plumage

[Joe Senzatimore]

One of my favorite birds at the Alligator Farm. Love the colors during the breeding season.

F4.5 1/160th 320 ISO

Hey Joe, it was great to put a face to the name :)

Lovely whites and pose, and bg not bad for the AF, usually so busy, you did good. I'd probably have pointed the camera down a bit more to have more space for the toes and less at the top. Great breeding colors well rendered, congrats!

ditto Fabs....and the exposure/pp is very nice

[Alfred Forns]

Excellent Joe !!!! Sure like the pose and beautiful feathers Agree on giving a little more room particularly the bottom !!!

Particularly like how you made the image in soft light !! Only way to reproduce those feather colors !!!!

[Philip Lombard]

Super Joe, good lighting and sharpness, love the colors.

[Arthur Morris]

Lovely bird and bill. Sharp and yes to down with the lens a bit. Perch a bit cluttered...

Colors are so nice on this one Joe. The perch demons got you here.
