Cattle Egret Landing

From Wakodahatchee @ 4/9/2008 19:14:39
I have been practicing flying shots with front lit subjects at Wakodahatchee. Lots of Egrets, Ibis, and Tri-colored come to the back right hand side island at dawn. There also a couple of nesting Lest bittern on that area.

Comments and recommendations are welcome.

Wonderful light and feel to this image. Nice pose and sharpness. I might consider getting rid of the greenery in the lower left corner.

Hey Raul.

Love the light and very sharp. I have mix feelings about the composition. The green leafs in the bottom left corner are some what a distraction.

Keep practicing and share with us!
