    Default Great Egret Graceful Landing.

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    One of the nine egrets that landed close to me the other day. This one landed in the opposite direction than the others and this really lit up the wings with the morning light coming from the right.

    Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/2500s., f/7.1, ISO 400, natural light, handheld, cropped for composition, some highlight recovery on the wings.

    Daniel:

    An elegant pose from an elegant bird. Love the pointed toes!

    Well lit and exposed, sharp, good background.

    Never expected to see so many quality egret images from Canada! (Not because of the photographers, but because of how rare they used to be in northern climes)

    Cheers

    Superb image Daniel.
    Love the fanned out wings, the toes as Randy mentioned, and the blues.
    Just a killer image really.

    I simply cannot fault this. All looks good to me. The size of bird in frame is how I would wish and it is beautifully lit. Nice work Daniel.

    Lovely exposure, great whites and landing pose. Great blues in the BG which makes the bird pop nicely. Lovely work.

    Nice landing pose Daniel. The details and exposure look great and I like the darker blue water color. Well done
