Snowy Egret Habitat

I watched this beautiful bird prowling for food in Wakodahatchee the other day and thought it made a good habitat shot since the bird was never in the clear.

does make a great habitat shot! the cloudy days usually mess with the white balance a little and seems to have done that here too. there is a yellow/magenta color cast to it. here's a repost with the color correction.

Hi Al, here is the original JPEG right out of the camera, before I cropped it slightly.

Good Eye MR H!! - Repost is better - based on the last post - Id probably crop some off the bottom and leave the rest of the room up front.
Like the included habitat and it is nice and dahrp - exposure looks good.

Agree with Lance on the crop and Harold on the color balance, might even go a skosh more toward the cool side. Nice capture and habitat. I like this type of image!

As suggested, I have cooled the image a bit and have re-cropped it, giving more room on the left and less on the bottom. How does it look now?
