    It has a delicate feeling lent by the white-on-white composition. Yet the eyes tell the story of an alert, aggressive bird.

    Sharp with a pleasing image design. I think that the bird could go a bit whiter. My wish is that the bird had grabbed to very top of the perch so that we could have seen the back leg.

    It was nice meeting you at Gatorland the other day. You can see my favorite "blacklit" image from that morning in Saturday's blog post here. a

    swell image Joe, a very pleasing perch and angle for this handsome cattle egret. You did well with white details... TFS!
