    Sweet sweet pose, Roman, love the details in the white and the wingspread. Perfectly angled towards you. I think this is a cattle, isn't it?

    Roman:

    Nice banking "moo" egret. I fixed the thread title so as not to confuse people!

    Lovely full open display, excellent breeding colors, sharp, well exposed.

    THe angles of the wings help the tight ,squarish crop work well.

    Cheers

    Killer flight pose and breeding plumage to boot. Lovely green BG and angle. Wish I had gotten one this nice while I was there.

    Beautiful light Roman.
    The square crop looks fine on this one.
    Well done.

    Really good whites, wing spread, and sharpness. Great detail all over the bird.

    Roman, you nailed this one. breeding colors, perfect techs, angle, wings, BG. I know you like tight crops...but if mine, I'd have at least some more room in front....if you have. If you ask my frank opinion, I'd say 'way too centered'. If you dont have room, don't bother...not a canvas that can be easilly extended.

    gorgeous pose and exposure here Roman - having them against the green of willow trees provides for interesting exposure compensation...here at our rookery they have anything from blue sky, to bright water to green willows behind them in one pass...

    Roman, this looks great. Perfect pose and background. Control of the whites is excellent. I like the square crop too...

    The lighting, wingspread, and colors on the Egret just plain rock! Great BG too. Very nice shot.
