Description

I was lucky to find this Egret on April 21, at 9:30am in the back of Rocky Neck State Park. It seems the number of bird of any kind are way down the spring.
Thank you for stopping by.

Beautiful, Peter. A great pose from the Egret and your exposure on the whites is excellent. I also like the background with the calm water in front and all those vertical reeds reinforcing the upright pose of the egret. Very well done.

Excellent pose and superb white feather detail. Nicely composed.

I agree with the others here Peter. This is such an elegant and very well composed image. The soft colors and sharp details are outstanding. I also like the reflection of the BG reeds in the water.

5

Excellent. Nice handling of the whites. I like the pose and the composition. Very nice setting as well.

Peter, you’re killing it with these excellent images!!!
Wonderful pose from the great egret, perfect whites, REALLY cool BG with the vertical reeds echoing the egrets pose., and the bit of reflection adds a lot.
Marvelous!
