Seen at Jefferson Island, Louisiana
Canon 7D, 400mm f4 DO IS, 1.4x TC II
ISO 400, f8, 1/1250s, monopod
Cloned a distant branch from background.
Any comments appreciated.
The colors on this are really beautiful. The white cattle Egret against the green background go so well together. There’s a very pleasing softness to the image. If I were going to change anything I might try to use a luminosity mask to bring out some detail in the shoulder feathers.
A lovely image, Allen. Great wing position, excellent exposure and nice background and foreground. Just a sweet image.
The only thing wrong with this is that it is flying away from you…
Beautiful processing, excellent exposure.
Great moment you captured here. Excellent job on the techs, and nice cut - even though I usually stick to 2:3 ration. Well done, cheers, Hans
Allen: this is a truly beautiful image. I really like how the bird stands out against the greenery in the background. Capturing the bird with a bit of netting material in its bill is a big plus. Maybe tone down the whites on the upper part of the near wing just a bit. Excellent otherwise. Richard
