Snowy Egret Preening

[Bill Dix]

I guess somebody has to go first. Here's a white bird from a recent outing along the Delaware Bay. I liked the symmetry of the two black lines each terminated by a yellow spot in the composition.

D7200, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 800, 1/2000s @ f/6.3 manual.

Nice preening pose,well seen and captured, Bill.

[Ivan Ellison]

Nicely presented shot, like the wispy feathers showing beneath the bird and yes the symmetry suits it well

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Lovely pose, an elegant shot in its own way Bill.
well done

Love the pose and composition, and the base provided by the reflection. The rock offset to the right nicely balances the head and neck to the left.

I wonder if there is a little more detail in the whites, but that may be something I tend to overdo.

Love the little rock he is standing on.
Very artistic feel to the image.
