Took this in Feb out with James Shadle on the Alafia Banks, Tampa. Just getting around to properly processing many of these pics. Thought this egret looked a bit like a punk rocker in this pose.
The light was still quite strong though it was nearing end of day. Wish it had been softer. This bird was bright white of course, but am I ok on the whites here? I've looked at it so long I can't tell anymore.
NR and sharpening. Slight darkening of bill. Thought it called for a fairly tight crop (which is about 30-40% of original size).
Looking forward to comments and critiques. I hope you like it!

It also looked a bit tight to me so I prefer your repost and might try a bit less sharpening. It's an unusual pose and I like it.
