Great wing and feet position Kaustubh, and I love the bg too. Great detail in the whites

Love this shot! The wing position is perfect and you nailed the whites!

excellent exposure Kaustubh, soft light helped bring out nice feather details

Kaustubh, such superb colors and pose.
Very good call on the f-stop to achieve bg separation.
Terrific comp and exposure. Lovely image.

Lovely soft light and BG. Perfect exposure control. Head is a bit lost against the body but still lovely.

KD, I like the habitat here, and excellent whites on the egret. Love the greens of the BG.

[DanWalters]

Like how you caught the egret right before landing. Nice detail in the wings as well.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Thx everyone.

Kaustubh:

Sorry I missed this one. Good comments above. Agree with Ofer about the head/wing merge, but the head still stands out well. Soft light did really help with nice detail in the feathers.

I was a little bothered by the large mass of brownish green vegetation in the RLC, so just for fun tried a modest vignette of the corners to draw my attention back in towards the bird. I liked it, might be worth a look.

Cheers
