Snowy egret
I took this image at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm this year. Slight crop, NR, USM. I also selectively blurred some of the blotchy areas in the bg. I was with a small class that Artie was leading. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Nice close-up.
It's gorgeous Cheryl!! Excellent job on the whites, and the background offsets it nicely. I like the comp, HA and eye contact. No nits on this one. It deserves a spot on the wall.

Hi Cheryl, it's me...Snowies are my faves! I would bet that you could find more feather detail in the raw version if you used a bit of recovery. Otherwise, nice capture, head angle, and background! Tough job handling the whites in this condition.

Cheryl, well done, especially the whites. It is easy to blow these out as you know. I like the BG. TFS
