Cattle egret in flight with a twig in morning light...
Shot with the D500 and 500/4 at f/6.3, ISO800, 1/2500. Processed in LR and then transferred to PS to add canvas to the upper right corner (bird was caught in the center of the frame).
Agree with John re: light details and I also really like the twig. I see a bit of noise or maybe compression in the shadow under the wing and in the background that could be easy to take care of if inclined. I really like the simplicity of this image though. TFS
