    Snowy Egret captured at the Salton Sea. Early morning, sneaking up on them slowly to get this close. I had to add a little bit of canvas to the top, as the bird was cramped in the frame a bit.

    7D, EF400mm f/5.6L
    Manual mode, f/8@1/2000 ISO 400 WB 4700K
    AI Servo autofocus, hand-held no flash

    Beautiful image, Kerry. Amazingly sharp, especially since it was handheld. And I love the vivid contrast between the egret and the blue sea.

    Beautiful image. Love the fluffed up feathers, excellent detail, exposure is spot on, and love the pose.
    Well done.

    Kerry, Snowys are so elegant. this one has a awesome plumage. nice pose, angle and BG. I think the whites can go a bit higher.

    Kerry:

    You have to love those golden slippers, nice lores, feather detail and blue background. Nice angle in the frame.

    Cheers

    Wonderful image Kerry. You certainly made the most of early morning light to capture the white feathers. The next time I get up before dawn to photograph birds, I'll think of your picture.
