Egret and Zebra

[Stephen Earle]

40D, ISO 400, F8.0, 1/1250. I know there appears to be a cast, but that's how I remember the light at the time.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the warm light, details, exposure control, details and particularly the 'perch' and would only run NR on the BG.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I really like the soft/warm light,pose and the composition!

[Stu Bowie]

Stephen, well exposed on the egret, and good detail on both the egret and zebra. Looks like the egret is balanced nicely on the rump. I agree with Axel to run some NR on the BG.

Hi Stephen, beautiful picture and well composed. The zebra skin elevates the picture and the whites are perfectly exposed. Congratulations!!

[Juan Aragonés]

Love it Stephen. the perch is fantastic. It is a set up? :D (just kidding). BG and exposure works very finely and the pose of the egret is perfect IMO. From a composition point of view, I think that I would prefer to see more of the great zebra skin and more room at the right. Very good job

[Fabs Forns]

This is a phenomenal image, everything comes together to create a winner, EXP, BG, design and sharpness!

[Ramon M. Casares]

To be honestI am not crazy about the Egret's pose, but that's just a very personal matter, the rest, light, exposure, BG, Perch, comp and detail are outstanding! Congratulations!

Super shot well done on this. Great comp and light
