Dumay, excellent stuff. Light is fantastic and great perch :-) really....the zebras take it over the top. Liked the composition a lot too. I think a slightly wider view showing more of the zebras will work even better.
This works very well for me. I feel the 2nd zebra in the background on the right also adds balance to the image. Color looks great given the time of day. The bird is posed very nicely, though it would good to see its feet. The horizontal band running through the top of the background is the only thing that distracts me.
Sweet light Dumay, and the comp works well. Good exposure on the egret, and overall nice and sharp. I find the zebbie in the BG a bit distracting. Maybe toning down the white stripes may work.
Dumay this is awesome! Love the detail and the blue BG works well. Awesome light!
Just a quick question - how did you sharpen this one for web? Looks really good!
All I can say is WOW! I hope to be able to shoot there one day. I think the OOF stripes look better in the repost, but maybe somewhere in between would be better. TFS this amazing piece of natural history.:)
