That’s some gorgeous end-of-day light, Bill. It’s cool the way it spotlights the Egret. I do think the hottest part of it on the breast, while it’s probably accurate, looks like a little too much of a good thing and might bear toning down a little. I really like the loose composition and included environment. It actually helps emphasize the Egret at the same time it provided context.
Bill, as a general rule I prefer framing images with an open composition like this, because a bird’s environment is always something to give it a better sense of place. You seemed to have done a nice job getting this in what looks to be a really challenging exposure, but the spotlighting on the egret and nearby grasses really makes it stand out.
Very nice bird and its environment image. Superb light and composition. I agree that there could be a tad of toning down on the bright spots. But I would be real happy with the photo like this.
