    Snowy Egrets were in full display at the alligator farm. It's very difficult to find them against a dark BG and with little clutter. There were some bright spots in the BG which I worked pretty hard to darken. It's quite a job separating the feathery display from the green highlights.

    Amazing posture, and love the splayed tail feathers. Certainly a great contrast between the egret and the dark BG. I can see some areas in the BG that have been worked on, particularly above the beak.

    Cool pose, breeding plumage and setting. I would sharpen the bird more and blur the BG.
