Big Egret - "Big Love"

[Jay Ing]

This guy flew in out of the blue. No time to change settings so he is hot. Tried dodging hot areas (clumsily) - but thought to post for feedback nonetheless.

A9ii, 200-600, 400, 1600, 6.3, HH, C1P/PS, Enlarged canvas all around (narrow adds) as he filled the frame pretty much side to side.

I think the exposure looks pretty good. I think the image could go brighter.
Sharp...

I think the exposure is spot on. The details look great across the bird, even on the forehead. Shadows are the bigger issue, and the underwing is uneven and jumbled as a result. You really need the sun directly behind you
for a shot like this. That's the only way to lose the shadows.

The pose is very nice. Also like the framing. I do not like the water mark, any water mark for that matter.
