Fifty Shades Of White...

I captured this image of a Great Egret in breeding colors and plumage at the rookery in Gatorland, Orlando, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Something different for sure. I like it Joe. The whites look good here, and the colours on the bill and eye make for a good colour boost. Nice feather details.

Really like this. Has that nice tight graphic look going for it. Detail in the whites look good.

[Isaac Grant]

Nice details and I really like this kind of out of the box image and crop. Top right corner has a blue cast and I do feel that much of the rest of the whites are a little too gray. Easy fix for a fun image and different perspective of a very common bird.

[Walker Noe]

Great composition and details here. Agree with Isaac's comments re whites. I really like this Joseph!!

Hey Joe, another cracking portrait, these minimal, yet bold in parts colour palettes are really working for you.

If you address the crap LR adds in, (in the BKG) and a slight Curves in the MT & LT the really fine detail you captured shines through, well done.

Well done for capturing the details from this beautiful face as clear as can be Joseph! Interesting to see a D7000 popping up too!

I like Steve's PP on this...

Go it, will revisit the image and make changes. Thanks Steve...
