Famous Resident of Ft. Desoto

[Troy Lim]

Had a great time in St. Augustine, met a lot of photographers. It was a fun weekend!
Shot taken at Ft. Desoto on Easter weekend. This Reddish Egret was sitting on the shore resting. Shot a series of close up and caught this moment. Decided not to clone out the BG on top of the frame.

1/1000 @ f/10, ISO400, EV -1/3

Great colors, pose BG, and comp!
Nicely done!

Awesome shot, Troy! Just the right amount of sharpness to my eye. Colors are fantastic, BG is sweet and I even like those slender blades of grass peeking out at the lower right. Gorgeous...

Excellent show of the tongue here, and I like the colours on these egrets.

Awesome pose, excellent sharpness, and a nice BG. Would have liked to have spent some time with you up there; maybe next year!

Doug,
Anytime. Let me know ahead time next year so I can maybe take a day off work. Of course weekend are always better.

Troy, that is some serious plumage. Loved the pose, tongue and HA.....that combo is a low percentage shot. I am finding it a tad bright...pulled back by 1/6th or 1/3rd stop might make it better...'might' being the operative word :-)
