I wanted to try something different and made this at first light. James Shadle took Arash, Artie and me to Alafia Banks that morning, great place to go.

Wow, absolutely love the light here! Great job.
It's slightly tight in the frame to my eyes. I would like tad more room behind and in front of the bird.
Axel:
Striking early light, love the spikey hair do. Nice shooting angle, might like a bit more space in front, per Sidharth, am OK with rear.
Cheers

Axel, I really like this one wonderful light, comp and pose. I think the crop works as you posted it, good work.
In what state is Alafia Banks?
I love the light you had for this. Maybe just a bit too warm for my taste , but beautiful just the same.
Sweet capture Axel !!! Great finding one so early in the morning to get that intense light !!! Dark bg sure helps out making it stand out .. btw did well with the exposure, right on !! Big Congrats !!!
Axel, exposure looks spot on. Light is indeed very nice. A good case for 8X10 crop?

very nice Axel, like the colors and nice BG, got one similar to this haven't gotten around to process yet.

Love the lighting on this one Axel....comp is a little tight for my personal taste...but the BG and exposure makes this pop. Was there with James three weeks before....and the juveniles were still in the nest....guess I will have to go back. Nice early morning capture
Hi Axel,
looks like he is on fire:). the color works nice with the dark BG
This is indeed very different. Love the morning light and the dark BG. Congrats.

Great early morning color it makes the rreddish egret really red
Stunning Axel...that's all I've got to say :)

Axel, I like the way you PP the dark BG.
Any tips on that?
The dark BG compliments the bird so well.

I was just there again on Memorial Day, they all were coming out...
Cool looking Bird Bhai.. does it get red in breeding plumage...
Sweet, sweet light, and just love the way that early morning light has brought out the colour in the egret. Stands out so well against the darker BG. A little more space on the right would work.
