    Great Egret portrait taken from the Alligator Farm in Saint Augustine. I cloned out a bit of brush and left what I thought added to the shot. Used NR and sharpened afterward.

    Pentax K10D
    Sigma 50-500mm @500mm
    Av f/10 @ 1/4000s
    Spot Metered @ -4/3 EV

    Super detail, one of the few portraits I like.

    I would personally eliminate the leaves in their entirety - they just compete for my attention to much. I would place the bird closer to the frame at right and adjust the blue of the sky which I feel is too rich (can't believe I'm saying this as I look at the white skies and snow falling outside my window!?!) Neat pose by the egret, cool breeding colors too.
