Doesn't he look grand with those feathers all fluffed out and nicely shaped. He looks like he is anticipating making a move at any moment. One of your very loveliest egret shots.
There's lovely, fine detail in those feathers EJ, they lift the shot and make it feel very delicate. Smoothness of the white's good too against that background.
Well, E J, I have to say that this fine foto brought to mind THIS MASTER from whom I have learned much. I'd love to go out on a shoot with you and watch YOU in action as well. What great technique you have.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
The lighting is superb. Brings out all the fine details in this ultra clear capture. Only nit and a very small one, is not sure if the b/g bird adds or detracts. No matter, this is a well thought out photograph. Would like to get this in the VB.
Beautiful capture. It is tough to catch a Snowy Egret
with the feathers on its head up. It is a shame the
common egret is in the background. Great job!
