Great Egret
EOS-1D Mk III, 500mm f/4L, 1/400, f/5.6, ISO 400
Manual exposure : spot metered off bird plus 1 2/3
About 85% of Full Frame
Photographed last week at St. Augustine Alligator Farm while there for Chas' STL Tech Series.
Looking forward to your comments and critiques !
Great display and breeding plumage. Did you put a fan behind the bird? :) Maybe a tad tight in the frame.
I do like the fanned feathers very much.
It's nice to see a relatively nice bg in a great egret display image. So often I get great displays with ugly bg's. This is pretty nicely blurred if perhaps just a small bit busy.
A really great display of the nuptial plumes here Mike, enhanced by the soft, dark green BG!!! Nice work!!
Mike, this is a really superb image and I don't agree with any of the nits.
Congrats Mike,
Love the image,composition, colors and details...:D
I am speachless :eek:
