White white...

I captured this image of a Great Egret during breeding time at the rookery in the alligator breeding pond at Gatorland, Orlando, Florida. The background was deep, dark shadows which I darkened to black. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Love it Joe. The whites are lovely as is the blue. It really shines against the black BG. Great work

Excellent! The fine details in the white feathers is lovely and the contrast with the dark background really makes this one pop!

Great detail in the whites Joe, and I like the parallel to the sensor angle you've got here - nice work

My kind of portrait Joseph. It is a very strong image IMO.
Well done mate! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Joseph, a great contender for the theme. Excellent exposure, and love how the whites pop against the dark BG. The light looked nice and soft.
