This is a White Morph of a Great Blue Heron and Rare to Find in Alabama. This is a Evening Shot against the River BG which was naturally dark.
40D, 500/4 Lens, ISO 250, F8, 1/1250, Exp - 0, Crop from Ratio 4:6 to 4, Slight Darking of BG using Curves and USM after resizing.
Beautiful image here Gary. Great exposure on the whites. Some might wish to have the right wing up higher to match the left but I'd be pleased to add this to my collection.
Great find, details and setting. I wish the right wing were higher up and the BG is a bit too dark for my taste. You could try a slightly wider crop. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent find and pose. Was there some clone work done near the rock and between the rock and bird as there are a lot of repeating patterns and what looks like a shadow of a foot on the rock
Agree with having a straight up wing position and a bit more room, feels tight as presented Don't mind the dark bg since it makes the bird stand out so well and you did very well with the feather detail Got a keeper !!!!
Really excellent exposure and feather detail. and I like the action you captured in this image as well as the perch. I agree with previous comments on a lower angle. Thanks for sharing Gary.
