    I was waiting for it fly from the pond. Good a good pose (I think so) here.

    Hello Munish,

    Nice capture of this Egret flying...

    I like the pov you took in order to capture it in pixels.

    It is a pity that the right wings is overexposed and I would have like to get more space at the left of the egret where he is flying.

    I like the bg giving us an idea of its environment (I prefer that bg to a uniform blue sky)...

    Bye and TFS,

    Michel

    Hi Munish. It's really difficult to get the exposure correct on a white bird that's being sidelit as your bird is. The head is in the shadows and the sunlit whites are overexposed. Proper positioning relative to your subject is key to a successful photograph; normally that means the sun is behind you and the bird is in front of you. I like the idea of a bit more canvas on the left. I wish the far wing didn't overlap the head like it does.
