Majestic Snowy Egret

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

At Ft. DeSoto Park, St. Petersburg, FL, I found some soft light with a nice background. I would have liked to have caught this bird stretching it’s wings or catching a fish, but he insisted on a portrait.

Specific Feedback

The reflection was blurry so I didn’t feel the need to include it.

Technical Details

f/6.3, 1/4000, iso 280 @600mm. Processed in LR and Ps

Beautiful whites with nice detail and a classic pose, Richard. I like the amount of room you left at the bottom-just about right for the hidden legs.

Awesome light on this one, Richard. Well done.

Wonderfully bright whites without blowing them out Richard. Great pose and composition.

@Dennis_Plank @David_Bostock @Ed_Williams. Thank you for your kind comments

Nice crisp shot Dennis, and it shows the regality of these beautiful birds. I always enjoying seeing them up here in CT and recently saw some while visiting Ft. Myers, FL. Your background really makes him stand out well and I like the slight tilt of his head too.

Nice portrait Richard. I find these birds to be so elegant and you did well capturing this beauty. Nice exposure with a regal pose.
