Cattle egret in flight

[allanrube]

I shot this cattle egret last week at Viera about 5:35 in the pm. I positioned myself where the birds were flying in to roost and just waited. When these egrets are very come here they are rare back home (I once traveled 70 minutes to see one sitting on a barn.)

I really like the light and BG in this one. I wish the near wing were a bit higher up and might tone down the highlights a tad.

The highlights don't seem bad - but I am on a laptop so I will have till wait a month before I get home to tell for sure. Will remember though - thanks.
