Little Egrert

Canon 7d Canon 500MM F4 L IS ISO 100 -0.67 1/640 f8

The local marina had been drained for inspection purposes, I second guessed the Little Egrets would turn up. All C&C welcome.

Hi Jonathan,

I like just about everything about this image - the sharpness of the whole bird, pose, head angle and almost puzzled expression, and the placing of the bird in the frame. The whites look good for a -0.67EV exposure. The eye is very nicely colored and sharp. To my mind the face and the neck could do with a slight touch of darkening to bring out the detail. I find the white marks on the upper mandible a bit distracting.

Greetings from someone born and raised in West Kirby, but who has lived a long way away for a long time - although I visited there in Sept.

You did a wonderful job showing off this bird's behavior. Your exposure looks very good, and I love the raised wings and feathers. Your image is also nice and sharp, and I like the raised foot.

Thank you Richard & Marina for your comments.
