Excellent exposure and wonderful detail. I have never seen one that orange. It is gorgeous. I also like the swept look of the back feathers. Lovely image and thanks for sharing.
Beautiful lines and colors. I like the crop very well and I am drawn right to the eye, which is spot on. The bg is very nice as well. there isn't anything I can see that I don't like.
Thank you all for the postive feedback. I guess we take for granted what is usual and mundane sometimes. The population variant here does seem to blush to a stronger shade of orange during breeding season (which seems to be all year round now with the weather going bonkers).
Chien,
This bird is amazing. I've never seen one of these in the colors here. Egrets are common here but not Cattle Egrets. I live in the desert where nothing stays for very long. LOL
The colors are amazing. Your whites truely are magnificent here. This is sharp and wonderfully composed.
