A wild Great Egret nesting at Gatorland in full breeding plumage and color. He is intently watching the water for super. I am assuming that since this is a wild bird, not cpative and no HofM is shown, I am OK in this forum as location is not the deciding factor.
Seems like those lines are rain drops as I see some on the bird as well. Excellent job on exposure and I love the the green around the beak compliments the background. Thank you for sharing.
Robert, I am becoming to love these birds, they are sort of common but I believe I never pay the attention they deserve. this is a very nice image of a very nice bird indeed.
A nice head shot of this Great Egret Robert. I like your composition of the neck coming in from the top corner and nicely portrayed against a lovely soft BG. Whites look spot-on on my monitor ;)
A very nice image, Robert. I like the composition, colors, and detail in the whites. The falling raindrops and the few sparkles of raindrops on the head are a nice added touch.
