    Very nice side lighting here and pose Ken with the Cattle Egret companion a nice bonus, might try increasing the blacks for an added boost.

    Ken- I'm beginning to believe that you travel around with a cattle egret and have it trained to jump in the photo. I too like the lighting, comp and detail.

    Like the POV here, would have been great if you had some separation between the bird and the buck. Agree with Marc re adding some black.

    Rachel,

    At Manze almost every image had an Egret in it, the main trouble was they are all not surprisingly over exposed, not sharp or in the wrong place.

    I agree that the OP looks a little washed out ( Ithink I posted the wrong one no excuses as I had not been to the pub) here is a repost

    Your repost rocks Ken. Good detail and light, and lots of space to look into.

    Very nice light and nice colors and I love the pose of the waterbuck. Repost is much better. Would be stronger if the egret was a bit aside. Well done.
