The weather has not encouraged photography, clouds, wind, rail and 30 degree temps. So I am posting this Egret on found last summer on Great Island, Old Lyme, Ct.
I adjusted the highlights, clarity and did my best to hide the very white Egrets that were popping through the fern in the foreground. The shot is cropped 20% into 5by7.
Thank you for stopping by.

Pleasing pose and environment. Good job on the white plumage. Very good job disguising the egrets in the background, and the large image I hardly notice them. Yes the weather has been a problem but it typically is in April as things transitioned to more accommodating weather.
I agree. This is nice. Exposure is spot on, feather detail looks good, I like the setting, etc. I’d recommend resizing the photo to something like 1500-1800 pixels on the long end before posting so that the detail is better.
Nice image, and you chose your point of view very well here, it gives the heron a look as ‘if it owns the place’. If you have some room to the left on the image, I would include it. Other than that fine as presented. Nice work. Cheers, Hans
