Coldness (Little Egret)
Taken last summer about 30 minutes after sunset ..... due to low light I was experimenting with long exposures ....waiting for some action .....Little egret shakes and that was it
20D+ 100-400 ....f/5.6, 1/30 s, ISO 800, 0.0 eV, bean bag
Critiques are welcome !
Kind regards.
The image is astonishing for me! - I would never thought of experimenting with such values. The cold blue tones of the BG contrasts to the white innocent egret resulting in an interesting and exciting image.

Great idea and well done. I like the angle, composition, colors and wing blur. There is a little bit of banding in the BG.
Hi Marko, well done! I tried the same thing,with a little egret, standing in the water, looking out for fish. But it was very difficult, because there was always a slight movement in the bird and I have only few pictures, where the bird is sharp enough. And there was a little bit too much light too.
So I know the difficulties to get the picture we wanted to :-)) and yours is really good!
I like this image a lot !!!! Over the top feel It is very appealing to me !!! Big Congrats
Hi Marko,
This is a very interesting image and to be honest I like it a lot. The contrast between the white and blue are awesome. Congrats!
Good looking image, sharp where it need to be and very moody. Did you alter the white balance at all, or is it the color of the cold?
Nothing against, just curious, since we don't have that blue here so close to the tropics.
Refreshingly unique ---and very innovative.. Very nice work on your part!
Wonderful Image. I like this lots... Like stated the colors go well together and everything is sharp where it should be!
Glad that you like it !
It is not the color of cold :)....but blue is cold color....:)
I used color balance in PS to emphasize the cold , blue tone ....
Dreamy ethereal image that I like very much.. Great sharpness where needed. A fine compositon as well. Love it...
A very neat image Well captured and processed.
Wonderful as above, and great sharpness on the eye. The head is facing slighlty away, and I wish that the far wing has been raised a bit so that the head were not so lost in the dark BKGR. I do love the mood.
Way to go. And later and love, artie

I like this alot....it almost seems as if the bird is in moonlight with the deep blue colors of the bg. The face and eye are sharp, and it is a very appealing image. Well done!
Very creative. I love the mood of this one.
I love this shot. The light, the color, the motion blur yet sharp eyes. Excellent image. Thanks for posting.
Very nice image. I love the colors and the blur. amazing that the eye is sharp.
I love the blue tones and the overall feel of the image. Beautiful.
Out of the box thinking-love it
Thanks guys! I appreciate your time and kind comments . :)
The colors and mood are extraordinary! Nice job to keep your gear out so late after sunset...that allowed you to do create a truly memorable image. Continue to experiment!
No words to describe your image!
Congrats!!!
