Egretta garzetta

A common egret in full breeding plumage in Doñana National Park several weeks.
As always, your comments, critics and suggestions are for me an excellent way to improve my photographies :)

I like wing position, details, breeding plumage and BG. It could go a tad brighter for my taste.

[Don Anderson]

I agree with axel, a tad brighter.. looks cream colored on my calibrated monitor.

I would suggest toning down the back of the bird and brightening the catchlight, I like the pose, BG, and loose comp. Congratulations Juan!

Beautiful composition Juan and excellent comments from above. I really like that the environment is included in this image. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Nice wings down flight pose and I really like the drops of water behind the feet. Lovely bg and environment. The color temperature seems a little warm, and I would also brighten the image. Nice capture.

[Juan Aragonés]

oops, I fully agree about the yellowish cast :o The whites on the back are far from the 255 level but I toned down a bit, removed the color cast and added a touch of light to the eye and looks better. Thanks for the feedback gals and guys :)

Juan, excellent exposure, lovely flying posture, and pin sharp. The egret pops from the BG nicely. Well captured.

Nice flightshot Juan, but your repost does look a bit dirty. That colourcast is still there, and not too difficult to remove. This looks more natural to me.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Juan your second repost is right on.

Lovely species and flying pose. The BG tells a story as the drops of water. Great image. I agree about a little more tight but that's just a my taste.

[Juan Aragonés]

Jasper you fixed the color cast very well :)
Thanks a lot for all the comments
