    A great white egret, taken at a bird rookery in the Everglades. Shot from my canoe.
    Sony a700, 70-400mm, @ 400mm
    1/1600, ISO640, f5.6
    Added a bit of canvas on the left and removed a few leaves as well. I also reduced the exposure about 1/3 in LR.
    Thanks for your comments.

    Connie:

    Does look like a giant white roadrunner!

    Sharp, good choice to adjust the exposure in post.

    I might be tempted to add a bit canvas above as well.

    Bird is angling away from us a bit.

    Cheers

    Exposure, sharpness and detail look spot on to me. I like the pose too.

    Really nice Connie. Beautiful exposure for the whites. I like the simplicity of the image. The only thing I would wish for is a better head angle (CCW rotation towards you).

    Interesting image and pretty much perfect except for your arrest.... You cannot sneak anything by the head angle policia.

    Cool running pose at this altitude. :) I would sharpen the bird a bit more.

    Thank you for the comments everyone, very appreciated. As a repeat offender, I am still glad that the HA police are diligently doing their job. :)
