in the Dark

[Robert Kimbrell]

Another Saturday at Desoto, I found this Rreddish Egret in a heavily shaded area, I only managed a few shots before the wanderd back out in the open.

Loving the black BG here, Robert, and the vegetation works as well. He just glows in the dark here!

[Binu John]

Love this low key shot, Robert! The subject really stands out! Well done!

[Enrique Patino]

Beautiful image. Subject pops. I would try a little more sharpening on the bird and see how it looks.

Different kind of feel to The King of Ft. Desoto North Beach.

[Ian Wilson]

A very nicely composed and processed image. I like all the elements but agree with Enrique that you should see if the image will take a tiny bit more of sharpening.

[Holger Leyrer]

Very nice image. The darkness fits great to the bird. Love the pose and details. Well done, Robert.

Hi Robert, I really like how the beak pops from the darker BG, especially the pink part. I like the low angle of capture together with the pose. I would selectively sharpen the egret a touch more.

Nice drama with the proud pose and deep color tones.
