What OOTB techniques did you apply? other data from the camera? Nice shot but I'd like to know more.

Another great pose! I would consider adding just a smidge on the right side, giving that outstretched wing more room. I really like all the detail in the egret against the very subdued and blurred bkgd. The bright yellow open bill and the breeding green on the face really make this image stand out, as well as the very acrobatic pose! Great catch!

thanks. Love that the bird hasn't hit the branch yet...adds to the excitement. Still would like iso, f, speed data. It's hard to "catch" a moving bird so clearly, so I'd like to know how you did it so I can continue to learn.

Hi Stu, I like this pose and action very much. I agree with Nancy regarding a tad more space on the right. Lots of energy in this image.
