Little Egret on the wing

[Simon Wantling]

Popped out this morning for a quick look over a local reserve. Managed to capture this Egret shot as I was looking for another bird, so it caught me out a bit. Pleased with the outcome though.

5D MKiii, 700mm, ISO800, 1/1250ss, F8. DPP4 and PS 2014, plus NIK Color efex to enhance detail on the whites.

Hi Simon , well done all around .
Pleasing BKG which sets off the white bird nicely.
Good job on the exposure with very nice whites.

Nice downwing pose and excellent control of a tricky exposure

Very nice.
Tack sharp, lovely BG and nice wing position.
I would be happy with this one!

Hi Simon,
Fine shot with a soft and dark background exactly where the Egret is flying with an exciting wing position.
Also, the exposure is perfect and the composition fine.

Excellent image, the whites on the egret has turned out quite well and in contrast with the dark background.
