    Default Snowy egret preening

    This very relaxed snowy is from a recent trip to Delaware's Bombay Hook National WIldlife Refuge. What a great bird, seemed totally unbothered by my clicks.

    1/1250, f5.6, ISO400
    1Dmk2n, 500 f4 + blubb from car window.

    Hi Grace!

    Very nice head angle, but I really like the one leg balance, and the behavior with the feather is over the top! Really nice smooth background, and the colors go well with the rusty wheel and chain. Nothing to add for improvement.

    Al, do you mean head tilted up or head turn rotated?

    Grace, a very intimate moment and the color/comp balance is very pleasing, another congrats on a fine image

    Does look like a bad hair (feather) day! I especially like the clean BG.

    A nice elegant feel to this one Grace. I really like the fluffy feathers, soft whites and the one leg look. The rusty valve and chain are quite ok with me. Keep clicking.
