Snowy Rousing

[Brian Sump]

Caught this Egret in an early morning rousing on some pretty water. Overexposed a bit but believe I was able to save it.

love the exposure and light, details are super. whites are perfect. needs more room on the bottom for virtual feet. wish the BG was all green / more uniform, shores line is always an issue in the BG. looks like tack sharp with no shimmer problem anymore....

I like the wind blown feathers, details, IQ and agree with more room down below for the virtual feet if you have it. Well done Brian.

Hi Brian, super!

Whites look good, does need more room at the bottom...

The white and green go great together. Really like the view of the feathers and the plume. Nice detail. Yes to some more room below.

Virtual feet... huh, who knew!?

Point well taken and thank you for your comments!
