    Default Little Egret in breeding colours

    This is another image I found the other day from a shoot in Cape Town a while back. This was taken in the Milnerton Lagoon where the birds fly up and down over the lagoon. This egret is showing off the mauve lore which shows he is was in breeding.
    I have used Detail extractor very slightly in this, as the whites were already well exposed. The colour of the water was as shot. Taken at 6.48am so I could achieve the high ss.

    Excellent flight shot. Exposure is spot on, great wing position, and great light.
    Well done.

    Excellent image Stuart! I like the exposure, lighting, wing position and dark water BG.

    Beautiful shot: great wing position, exposure, colors. I never noticed the mauve lores.

    Beautiful Image Stu...Excellent exposure on whites, lovely wing position and love the hint of orange in the water...Not sure if it's me only but I think this needs slight CCW rotation...
