Cropped a bit for comp., resized to 1500 px for posting, selectively sharpened the bird, and reduced noise on the BG. I also used a lights 1 luminosity mask to dodge the bird just a bit. All feedback welcome.
Hi Lyle, I really like this image and I think it is harder to get a flight shot of one of these smaller egrets then it is the larger versions such as a great egret. I like the fact that your background is nice and simple no distractions and the bird look sharp enough to my eye. I love the wingspread. I like your placement of the bird in the frame as well, I’d have done similarly though I know some prefer more real estate for the bird to fly into. But it doesn’t bother me. I think you did well flight shots are the coolest and this ranks as way cool in my book.
