Standing Watch

[Katie Rupp]

This Great Egret stood here for awhile, balanced on the rock---not fishing, just looking out. C&C encouraged and greatly appreciated.

Like it a lot Katie. Nice BG and I like the blades of grass in the water. Feels a little tight on the top??

Hi Katie Particularly like the feather reproduction and texture, just great !!! Exposure is right one !!!

Pleasing pose and setting !!! Might clone some of the dark into the light upper light border !!! Big Congrats !!

I like it, particularly the perch. Does seem a bit tight all around.

[Katie Rupp]

Thank you, Jackie, Al and Wendell. Yep, I agree that it's a little tight...this time I had too much glass:D not that I'm complaining.

I am only a novice myself but think this is a very nice shot Katie. Exposure looks spot on to me, I like the little perch very much and also that small wispy feather protruding from the back.

[Craig Wallace]

very nice image, agree with all the comments, i see the reflection of the feet, could you taken a image showing the reflection also? I think it would also be a great image. good job.

I like this very much. I wonder if it's possible to get a little more detail visible around the front toes by slightly lightening that area?
