    Default White Bird, White Sky...

    I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Why is this bird white and why is a Great Blue Heron multi-colored, I don't know but I wonder. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Nice Head Angle. I would have remove color from the background to make it more High key and then increase the vibrance a little more

    Well done. The bird's head is angled slightly away. I am in the rare majority in that I love white skies and cloudy days. Good job on the exposure and the processing.

    Hi Krishna, thank you for viewing and commenting. I think if I removed the slight color from the background then the exposure of the bird would be fighting the background. Some areas of the white on the bird would get lost in the background. Thanks again for commenting.
