    Default Cattle Egret...plumage

    This cattle egret is admittedly a bit tight in the frame, but I wanted to show the beautiful plumage.
    No bg or twig cleanup was done in pp....yet:)
    Last weekend I happened on a spot here in MW Louisiana where there is a rookery of well over 1,000
    of these mixed with little blue heron and green heron.

    400mm 2/1.4X tc, ISO 400, 1/640, f/8, +.33EV
    Thank you for looking in and continued c/c

    Hi Dave,
    It is a little tight in the frame as you said. But those feathers and the breading colors look great.

    Beautiful ! Agree with you that it looks a bit tight but, as is, it's already very good IMO.

    Outstanding detail captured in this, and great exposure on the whites. This is pin sharp too. Great image Dave.

    Superd detail captured in this! All been said - just adding my well done. Pity there is no space for a good composition.

    Great details and soft light, just a bit tight as mentioned.
