I posted a similar photo months ago of this Egret in a tree, but as I was going through files this evening dumping them,
This one struck me. A desaturated BG and a Creepy pose.

Nice and sharp with good exposure. I like the de-saturated BG.

Hi Dan, something different, and I too like what you have done here. The egret is nice and sharp and well exposed. Im not sure what was to your right, But I feel to get rid of the busy BG on top, you could crop down from the top and create a horizontal. Add a little to the left as well if you have it.

Dan,

Greetings. interesting blue-orange contrast in the whites which adds depth but perhaps could stand to be slightly desaturated (for my taste).

Cheers,

-Michael-

nice desaturated effect.
for me have a blue cast in some part of white.

nice work, I like the BW BG. I would darken the BG too

I love the feel of this on closer look. The b&w bg makes the egret stand out and I also like the raised foot.

I really like the effect of the de-sat BG. Looks like the image belongs in a book of Edgar Allan Poe stories. (or maybe that was a raven)
