Got lucky with this Snowy some nice images I think in this series.
Shot at Green Cay yesterday with my Canon MK-II ISO = 400 @ f/8
1/1000th's 100-400-MM at 170-MM and a 0-Ec.
Nice wing position, and I kinda like the looking down at the egret angle. A bit of post processing remnants (?) to clean along the right edge, but otherwise very nice. Cool duckweed covered BG.
Love the contrasts between the green and white. I think the high angle works here and mostly is because the wings in the lower position and eye contact.
I was there last Thursday btw!! I had a lot of fun!
Very good exposure on the whites and I like the action a lot Bill. The BG is really nice and I think that the composition would be better if the egret is placed a bit more at the left and top. The angle is not the best but I think that it works in this image. Well done
Well done Bill! Nice pose, composition and as they say the angle works really well for me! Just 2 questions, what's the BG? I mean is it grass or something else? Also, what you guys call Snowy is it the same bird that I call little egret? I notice there is another one with longer feathers on the neck! Anyway, congrats! Cheers!
Great shot, i would have preferred a slightly lower angle but I think it is great. The detail and exposure are outstanding, I just don't know how you guys in the USA manage to get so close to birds
