Reddish Egret At Sunset

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This was taken at Merritt Island as the sun was getting low. His flight was a surprise as he seemed to come from nowhere and as the evening light hit him he was the most gorgeous shade of golden red. It was a beautiful sight for sure.

Judy:

Lovely light, sharp, like angle in frame and composition. Looks very determined.

Cheers

Light, low angle and sharpness look very good. I wish we could see the eye a little better.

[Stu Bowie]

You cant ask for better light than this Judy, and in turn has brought out lovely warm colours. Well captured.

What a bummer that I missed this image watching the willets instead of the reddish. The light was perfect and you captured a beautiful oncoming angle.

[Grace Scalzo]

What sweet light! I really like how you composed this.

[D. Robert Franz]

Great light and a great capture Judy...

[Alfred Forns]

Sweet all the all around Judy Light is gorgeous and great wing position Big Congrats !!

[Keith Carver]

Gorgeous colors, wing position and comp. I like the eye as is, especially with the bird coming at your face. Congrats!

[Paul Lagasi]

Sweet light, like the almost manelike appearance of feathers, sharp...well done

Hi Judy

Beautiful warm light and lovely details on the bird. Love the wing position and head angle. What amazes me is that you can see nice details on the right wing.

What a colour Judy. You clicked the shutter at the optimal moment. Very beautiful.
