    Default Yellow feet

    Little egret Egretta garzetta

    Canon 40D, Canon 500mm, ISO 400, 1/2500, f8
    PP: slight crop (I cut about 15%) due compo, contrast, sharpness,
    Handheld when I stand in the 1.3m deep water:)



    All the best!

    The light angle is not the best and light is a bit intense but you did a very good exposure job on this white bird. In my opinion, a litle bit more room at the bottom would produce a better composition

    Hi Milan,
    agre with Juan on the light but as he mentioned.....you handled it pretty well! I see you cropped.....so hopefully you have some room to put it behind and below. the HA isn't perfect.....but the wing tip??..touching the back of the head is the most distracting. I applaud you going out there and wading into the water though.....keep at it!

    Roman, I am pretty sure that that is not the far wing tip touching the head. It looks pretty much like a breeding plume....

    I like the SH and the trailing yellow feet but I am not a fan of this wing position or of the bird angling away.

    Eye sharpness is good and whites exposed properly, wing position is not that interesting though.

    I agree it is def breeding plume we have a tone of these guys with the plume here.
